Regina Meckes
Chiqui was born and raised in Argentina where she graduated from college with degrees in tourism and finances. Calling herself a “professional tourist,” she loves traveling and planning adventures. In 2009, she found her way to the US while chasing snow. Now, she lives in Crested Butte and has been working in the adaptive sports world for eight years. She spends most of her winters snowboarding, skiing, dancing and working at a non-profit organization teaching people with all kinds of disabilities how to do winter sports. In the summers, she loves riding bikes, exploring new trails and mountains and also teaching adaptive summer sports. She’s stoked to be part of the FD family!
