Dave
Dave has been the owner of the Warming House since 1983. Prior to owning the business he taught special ed. Dave is an avid golfer, skiier, snowshoer and hiker. Dave is the king of boot fittings. He is one of the best in the country at finding the perfect boot for any feet. Yes, even your feet - he loves a good challenge... bring it on!
Favorite Hike: Anything in Europe that's long and has a cold beer waiting at the end of the day.

Phebe
Phebe has also owned the Warming House since 1983, and is Dave's better half. Before buying the shop, she was a high school choir teacher. She still keeps music in her life by playing piano for church. She loves to hike, travel, write, and snowshoe and watch House Hunters on HGTV with Rista. Phebe loves outfitting women and guiding women's trips.
Favorite Hike: She's hiked around the globe, but when talking about Rocky Mountain National Park she still says, "It doesn't get any better than this." Favorite Rocky Mountain Hike is Over the Divide to Grand Lake and Mt. Alice in Wild Basin.

John
John has been with the Warming House since 2004. If you want to take a guided hike with us, chances are it's John who will take you. In addition to the "job that pays for the toys", John has a real estate appraisal business. We also look to John for his local meteorology expertise. And, yes, ladies... he's single.
Favorite Hike: Anything with some good fishing. And no, he's not telling anyone where that is.

Kristen
Kristen came to the Warming House in 2005, bringing along her Web and marketing experience with her. Kristen is a stay-at-home mom to three little boys and can offer great advice on kid gear and hikes. In her "spare time" she is a volunteer firefighter, singer, eBayer and founding member of Families For Estes.
Favorite Hike: She's a 14er peak-bagger, and would have to choose Pikes Peak as her favorite. 25 miles round trip, and 7,800-feet elevation gain make for an awesome trash hike.

RJ
While RJ has been a great Warming House customer for many years, he's only been working with us since 2007. RJ also works for Boy Scouts of America. He has a baby girl at home. In addition to the great outdoors, RJ is a wine and food snob, (a.k.a. "Foodie") and maintains a coral tank.

Chase
Chase is the newest addition to the Warming House family, transplanted from Kentucky. He lives with his wife Jen (of one year), just down the street from David and Phebe in Allenspark. He had only been here a couple of weeks when John and Phebe took him on a 13-mile snowshoe trash hike. He survived (see blog for weeping picture). It was his right of passage.
Favorite Hike: Coming soon.

Rista
Rista, who once was known as John's dog, is now the famous Warming House dog. He has fans from all over the country, and even believes people come to Estes Park to see him. Rista makes a good model for our dog packs. He'll also dance, sing, and say, "I love you"... if you bring him a treat!
Favorite Hike: Red Deer Lake in Indian Peaks - The perfect off-leash hike for a dog.
