" I GREW up in Greenwich, Conn., and was lucky enough to travel when I was young. My family traveled to Europe many summers, and we skied different mountains in the United States in the winters. I was 18 when I met Jake Carpenter during a New Year’s Eve party at a tavern in Vermont. He was just starting what would become Burton Snowboards, and I was studying political science at Columbia University.
At the end of my sophomore year, I transferred to Williams College in Massachusetts, about 40 minutes from Manchester, Vt., where Jake lived, and we married. My mother was hoping I’d marry a nice New York lawyer or doctor, but I wanted something different from the suburban lifestyle. "
