Laura Wright

Originally from New Jersey, Laura has lived in Talkeetna since 1996. She has managed admissions for AMS periodically since 2010. Having participated in most of our mountaineering programs and expeditions, Laura has first-hand answers to participants’ questions and emails. She is chief motivator for “skiing lunch breaks” and guardian angel of all pets here at AMS. She works hard keeping up with all the paperwork for courses, expeditions, and workshops. In the summer Laura works as an interpretive park ranger in Denali National Park and lectures on the topic of climbing Denali, and she is a certified Wilderness First Responder and Leave No Trace Trainer. Laura enjoys skiing and exploring the entire state of Alaska by ski “joring” (skiing with her husky dog team as they pull a sled loaded with gear). She also continually works on her cabin and enjoys an active life in a small northern Alaskan town.
