We had the good fortune of connecting with Claire Frase Bolton and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Claire, what do you attribute your success to?
The most important factor behind our teams success is team work and dedication. Without every single person on our team it would not run the way it does! There are some tasks that are smaller than others but we have noticed the well oiled machine doesn’t run the way it should if we are missing personnel.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I have been involved in skiing my whole life but it was not until my late teenage years I took an interest in stepping into a leadership role. I have skied many places with many different people and without those experiences I would not be the leader I am today. From sea world San Antonio, winter haven Florida to Nagasaki Japan- all of these places gave me knowledge I did not have prior. The most impactful group i skied with was Team USA in 2014. This is the best of the best on one team for a world championship. It was incredible to learn and ski with sure talented people.

Just like any other growing team- there are growing pains. We are a young team with lots to learn but the group Carolina show ski team has is incredible. The dedication of the skiers, parents and volunteers makes it possible for us to continue to put on great shows for our community.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
