Biography

Kati Christoffel graduated from the University of Maine at Presque Isle with her B.F.A. in watercolor painting and B.S. in Athletic Training while competing on the cross country ski team. She then commenced a decade of backpacking, adventure, outdoor seasonal work, art making, and as much cross country skiing as she could cram into the time left. Ready to settle down a bit, but not settle, she joined the Champlain College Conference and Events Center in 2025.

Hobbies

I love cross country and telemark skiing, hiking, backpacking, sailing, painting, needle felting, cooking, reading, and telling my cats how perfect they are.

Favorite Local Eateries and Things to do in Vermont

I love the ice cream at Champlain Chocolate, and you can find me cross country skiing at Sleepy Hollow all winter.
