Christie Hicks
Chief Operating Officer
Christie has called Crested Butte home since 2010 and joined RMBL as the Chief Operating Officer in 2026. Her career has spanned science, education, outdoor leadership, and nonprofit management, with a common thread of connecting people to the natural world and building organizations that support meaningful work.
Before joining RMBL, Christie served as the Executive Director of Crested Butte Nordic and previously led outdoor education programs at Western Colorado University and Canyonlands Field Institute. She holds a B.A. in Molecular Biology from Pomona College and an M.S. in Environmental Education from Lesley University. When she's not at RMBL, Christie enjoys exploring the mountains and rivers around Crested Butte with her family by ski, boat, bike, or even on foot.
