The Blade Dive

The Blade Dive- Episode 30, we are joined by Chloe Butel. Born in Europe, originally from France, Butel relocated to United States with her family at a young age and would call the Bay Area of California home. Butel found adventure in the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range, surrounding Lake Tahoe. Butel learned to ski in the Alps, so naturally, skiing or riding the Sierra’s came easy. Furthering her interests in science, agriculture, vehicle maintenance and mother nature... Butel fell in love with the Snow Industry and has found herself placed amongst industry greats, to the likes of Tyson Terpening, Garrett Froelich, Brandon Dodds, Frank Wells and Charles Beckinsale.

Chloe Butel calls Sierra at Tahoe her 'home mountain' and enjoys every minute that she is amongst the trees. Butel is a 3rd year Terrain Park operator, whose drive to contribute in any capacity within an operations team is next level. Butel is also an advocate for the future of the industry, all while being present in the moment at hand. Butel’s biggest contribution that outshines any jump ever built, is her ability to speak up for Women in the industry and lead the charge for new events like “Take the Rake” at Trollhaugen, Wisconsin.

Episode 30 is a deep dive into the reality of the industry’s current state. The episode is stacked with special guest questions. Chloe discusses her experiences operating Snowcats, the value of believing in people, finding the joy in the job, mental health, paying operators an appropriate skill based/livable wage and much more.
Enjoy... and if you're in the machine, go ahead and TURN THE VOLUME UP!
