Adam Knoff, Field Instructor, Keystone Science School

Adam was born and raised in Newton, MA, a town about 5 miles outside of Boston. Though he grew up close to the oldest city in the country, he spent ample time exploring the mountains and coastline of Northern New England, specifically the White and Green Mountains, and the Maine Coast. It was during these family weekends in the mountains that his passion for alpine skiing and the outdoors developed.

He stayed in New England through college, graduating from Connecticut College in May 2005 where he studied Environmental Studies, which culminated with an Honor’s Thesis on U.S. carbon dioxide emissions. However, he took every minute he could to get off campus and get outside. After working for Keystone Science School’s Discovery Camp during the summer of 2005, he lived right here in Keystone, CO for a year, managing a ski shop, and living the “ski bum life.” He’s ecstatic to be back at the Keystone Science School.
