  • I’m Alyssa, Registered Dietitian and owner of Peak to Peak Nutrition, where I help mountain athletes and active adults fuel their adventures to support performance, health, and a positive relationship with food. When I started climbing mountains, trail running, and backcountry skiing, I had no idea what I was doing. I struggled to maintain energy throughout long days on the trail and took ages to recover from big efforts. What started as a desire to learn more about how to boost my performance in the mountains turned into a career helping others do the same.

    I received an M.S. in Human Nutrition from Colorado State University, where I also completed my Dietetic Internship —similar to a doctor’s medical residency. Prior to pursuing a career in nutrition, I had a career in public health research, where I developed a zeal for translating complex scientific concepts into practical and actionable recommendations. My nutrition philosophy is grounded in the belief that while physical performance and well being are important, they should never come at the cost of your mental health. That is why a key focus of my work is helping athletes cultivate and sustain a positive relationship with food and with their bodies, so they can perform at their best —mentally and physically.

    When I’m not geeking out about sweat science or optimal carb intake, I’m probably playing outside in the mountains of Colorado with my border collies, Yampa and Jackson. A jill of all trades and master of literally none of them, you can find me trail running, rock climbing, or, of course, skiing or snowboarding.

    Earn Your Turns is the program I wish I had had when I first started out in the backcountry. I’m stoked to get strong, fueled, and ready to send it— together.

  • I’m Jess Gresho—a backcountry enthusiast, former freeride athlete, and strength coach who’s passionate about helping skiers, riders and mountain athletes unlock their potential in the mountains. With a Bachelor’s of Science in Exercise Physiology and certification as a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist —CSCS, I combine science backed training principles with firsthand experience to create programs that help mountain athletes thrive.

    As a former member of a competitive freeride team, I understand the physical and mental demands of pushing boundaries in the mountains. My years of experience exploring the backcountry have shaped my coaching philosophy: build strength, move efficiently, and prepare for the unexpected. Whether it’s a steep skin track, a technical line, or back to back big days, I know what it takes to show up strong and ready to perform.

    When I’m not coaching or training myself, you can find me skiing big lines, exploring new trails, or working on my next adventure goal. My programs are designed for skiers and riders of all levels—from weekend warriors to seasoned pros—providing the education, tools, and guidance you need to confidently tackle the mountains.
