Laura McLaughlin


Laura McLaughlin is a lifelong skier who now works as the softgoods and accessories retail manager at Pinnacle Ski and Sports, the brick and mortar sister store of SkiEssentials.com. Laura learned to ski at Cranmore in New Hampshire and like many east coast skiers found herself bashing gates throughout a lot of her younger years (in other words: ski racing). These days she describes her preferred terrain as steeper groomed slopes or soft bumps and the playful conditions that form on the sides of trails. Her current ski of choice is the Volkl Kenja, although she did note that she may add a Fischer Ranger W 89 to her quiver for the upcoming season.
