Board of Directors for the Friends of the Mount Shasta Avalanche Center
Casey Glaubman, Director
Casey Glaubman, the man with many hats. Casey is stoked to join as director and education cordinator of the Friends of the Mount Shasta Avalanche Center for the 2020-21 season. A few interesting facts about Casey include his dream to own a sushi truck. He completed the Mount Shasta top to bottom ski challenge, that is, sans tops and bottoms. A naked summit to Bunny lap! His only allergy is orange die, which makes his ears turn red. And from what we understand, he is working on becoming a mobile notary. Casey is a real freestyle individual with a drive to lead, inspire and educate.
Hanne Meyers, President
Hanne Meyers, our fearless president of the Friends of the Mount Shasta Avalanche Center is as local as they come. Born and raised in the Mt. Shasta alpine community, Hanne has snow and skiing in her blood. She became involved with the MSAC in 2012 as another outlet for her passion for skiing and to give back to the community that has provided so much for her and her family. In 2015, she stepped up to the president position after a large turnover in the FMSAC Board of Directors. Hanne has established a career with the US Forest Service as a Fuels Specialist and spends her summer months planning and implementing fire and fuels reductions projects in the greater Mt Shasta area. She still manages to find plenty of time during the year to play and coordinate FMSAC events and activities. Hanne's seemingly limitless energy and commitment are enviable. All adventures Hanne is game for: skiing, climbing, surfing and whatever other adventure her husband Nick has cooked up, she is right there and in good form.
Sean Malee, Vice-President, Director
Dr. Sean Malee, vice-president of the MSAC board, has been referred to as our "tribal elder", and for good reason. He grew up along the banks of the Trinity River, and has continued to call the north state his home. When he is not at the hospital advancing his medical career he is outside slaying it somewhere. Countless adventures on vertical rock walls, steep alpine faces, narrow single track trails, and churning white water rapids have equipped Sean with the knowledge to advise and guide his fellow outdoor thrill junkies. He has been a crucial member of the FMSAC board of directors since almost the beginning, and is a born leader with always a solid opinion.
Clayton Coles, Secretary
Clayton Coles joined the FMSAC board of directors during the 2018/2019 winter season after volunteering for our events for several years. Clayton is an engineering geologist and has been in the far north state community for over 30 years. He represents the southern Cascade contingent of the Board, splitting his backcountry time between Mount Shasta and Mount Lassen.
Nick Joslin, Director
Nick Joslin joined the Board of Directors in 2014. He grew up in Ashland, OR and has deep family roots in northern Siskiyou County. He has a degree in geology from the University of Oregon and has spent winters in the intermontane and continental snowpack of Colorado, Wyoming, and Idaho. Nick is our resident environmental activist and our representative for southern Oregon.
Dave Brown, Director
Dave Brown joined the Friends of the Mount Shasta Avalanche Center during the 2015/2016 winter season. His addition to the ranks of the FMSAC board has reconnected the avalanche center with the Mount Shasta Ski Park ski patrol. Not only does Dave's participation realign the MSAC and ski patrol in spirit, it has also allowed for greater ease is sharing of snow pack observations between the two. Dave's experience and wisdom has been a welcome addition.
Jason Koster, Treasurer
Jason Koster first arrived in Mount Shasta from the East Coast (NY) in 2002 and has been an enthusiastic member of the backcountry ski community since. He is often sighted with his two amazing sidekicks, daughters Angelina and Sophia, or working as a Physical Therapist assisting his fellow community members get back out and shred. His persistent jones finds him searching for pow, climbing high, shredding single track, or carving up waves. Jason's support and zest are a welcome addition to the FMSAC Board .
Justi Hansen, Director
Justi has spent the last 20 years skiing and cycling on and around the slopes of Mt. Shasta, while carving out a career in economic development and outdoor recreation.
She had the privilege of working as a professional ski patroller and mountain/ski guide on Mt. Shasta and in South America before starting a career in non-profit organizational development.
Justi is passionate about creating and implementing initiatives for organizational growth, community outreach, economic development, and partnership development in the outdoor industry.
Justi is formerly the Executive Director for FMSAC, though has moved on to other pursuits. After a brief hiatus, she decided she couldn't stay away from the Avalanche Center and has agreed to come back to be on the Board of Directors. Yay for us!
Stacia Anderson, Director
Stacia grew up in Mount Shasta and shares a love of the outdoors and especially for snow recreation. She moved away for college, but found herself back in her hometown as an educator… She enjoys sharing her joy for adventures and giving back to the community. Her favorite activities include earning her turns, skiing pow, and sled-necking with her husband and friends for better access to remote ski zones around the Siskiyou County.
