About Rick Bolger

Outdoor journalist Rick Bolger first laced up a pair of old ski boots and tumbled down a hill in 1970. He pursued his newfound passion through a combination of Sussex County, NJ cornfields and an occasional trip to Ski Dutchess (now lost) in Beacon, NY. He graduated to the Vermont backcountry as a teenager, and ultimately developed a fondness for small, "hidden gem" type ski areas. Rick's frank and occasionally snarky reviews have made SkierNet.com a top website for U.S. ski resort intelligence. In summer months he is better known as "The Slackpacker," and has been published and quoted in a variety of print and online news sites, including The Los Angeles Times, The Casper Tribune, The Gonzalez Weekly Citizen. He is also a regular contributor to NELSAP.
