Sean Wetterberg

is the National Winter Sports Program Manager for the USDA Forest Service, overseeing the national ski area program from Salt Lake City, Utah. He works with regional program managers and Forest Service staff to support ski area permitting, planning, and project implementation while also shaping national policy and training programs. He collaborates closely with the National Ski Areas Association and provides oversight for the Forest Service National Avalanche Center and the Avalanche Education and Information Program. His passion for avalanche safety began during his early years as a lift operator at Keystone Resort and later as a ski patroller at Beaver Creek, where his first avalanche courses ignited a deep curiosity about snow science. In his free time, he enjoys ultrarunning and playing music. A recent favorite book is The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz.
