Dustin Hinde, Team Gravity (Devo Team)

Dustin Hinde is a ski coach for the 1st and 2nd grade Gravity Program. He was born in Salt Lake City and moved to Telluride when he was 9 years old. Dustin first skied when he was 5 years old, and at the age of 12 he transitioned to snowboarding. At that stage of Dustin’s life, snowboarding resonated with him more than skiing. He started off spending a lot of time in the park, then big mountain and eventually spent his time snowboarding in the slackcountry, sidecountry, and backcountry. Dustin had a couple years of dabbling in the thigh burn of telemark skiing in that mix. In 2008, he returned to alpine skiing.

Currently, Dustin loves sharing his time on the mountain – skiing, snowboarding and backcountry splitboarding. Then last year, Dustin coached a great group of 1st grade rippers, including his own son Thatcher. He’s very grateful to have this opportunity to explore this amazing mountain, while fine tuning kids’ skills and having a blast doing so.
