Stephanie Barnhart is a journalist, editor, and creative director with a deep love for storytelling and the great outdoors. She holds a Master’s degree in Journalism and has spent years in senior leadership roles, serving as both a NYC Editor and National Events Director.
In these roles, Stephanie oversaw editorial and event strategy for New York City and multiple major U.S. markets, including Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Washington, DC, Philadelphia, and Boston. She directed local city teams, managed content and programming across regions, and traveled nationally to produce and oversee large-scale events, ensuring consistency, quality, and meaningful community impact across the brand.
Outside of her professional work, Stephanie is a mom, a lifelong outdoor enthusiast, and a passionate advocate for protecting winters and outdoor spaces for future generations. While winter sports, especially snowboarding and skiing, are her greatest passion, she also enjoys ice fishing, hiking, and biking to stay active and connected to nature throughout the year. She and her son spend much of their time together in the mountains, moving seamlessly from backcountry touring to groomer days, sharing a deep love for winter, adventure, and the culture that surrounds it.
These experiences have shaped Stephanie’s dedication to preserving and highlighting snow-based sports and the natural landscapes that make them possible, a value that guides both her creative work and leadership.
