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. 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 sews warm clothing using upcycled materials, hanging with friends and dogs and working on her cabin while enjoying an active life in a small northern Alaskan town.
