Kristina von Trapp

Kristina was born and raised in Stowe, Vermont on her family’s property, von Trapp Family Lodge & Resort. She spent her last two years of high school at The Governor’s Academy in Massachusetts and graduated in 1988. She then attended University of Vermont, graduating in 1992, where she started teaching alpine skiing and fell in love with helping people have fun and enjoy the mountains. After college, her professional alpine ski instruction continued in Stowe and Perisher, Australia and then seven years full-time in Aspen, CO where her first child was born.

Kristina and her husband, Walter Frame moved back to Stowe in 2003 to raise their family and ultimately work full-time at Trapp Family Lodge. Currently their two daughters are 19 and 21. Growing up in the hospitality business has taught her about the value of hard work, warmth, and that everyone has their own story.

Besides downhill and cross-country skiing, she loves to hike, trail run, ride horses, read books and travel.
