I’m Riley Westman, I have been an EMT Ski Patroller at Keystone Resort for the past 5 years. I got into ski patrolling as a way to help people and try to find a noble purpose in life. As well as skiing a ton which I love. My other hobbies include ultra trail running, and baking the best sourdough in Summit County. My goals are to live a happy life and be the best person I can be.
Being recognized as a hero is a hard feeling to put into words. I appreciate being thought of in such terms, but at the same time I feel a sense of imposter syndrome. I guess it goes to show that anybody can make a positive impact in the world as long as you do the best you can with good intentions, even if you have self doubt. I’m grateful for the honor.
