Kelly Heaton, Zephyr United Operations Manager

With Zephyr since 2021

Sarah fell in love with travel and adventure at a very young age. She grew up in California, went to college in Colorado, and now resides in California and Montana. She is an outdoor enthusiast and enjoys hiking, camping, rafting, skiing, and almost anything else the outdoors have to offer.

Stephanie Vidergar, Zephyr United Marketing Manager

With Zephyr since 2022

Stephanie is a proud Colorado native, fortunate to have grown up in the wilds of the Rocky Mountains where she learned to ski, backpack, and rock climb. The wilderness is where she finds the time and space to nourish her being.

Stephanie manages all things marketing for the three distinct tour brands under the Zephyr United umbrella. Her background in marketing and communications includes many years and various gigs in the active and adventure travel industries. She’ll also be joining the guide team and looks forward to meeting you soon out on a tour.

Stephanie’s favorite way to get ‘out’ is through travel, and she is most proud to be an *adventure* mama, venturing and finding escapades to share with her two daughters. She lives with her husband Cyril, girls Amelia and Nora, and fluffy rescue dog Harris, in Fort Collins, CO.

Katie is originally from Minnesota and grew up camping, hiking, riding bikes, and spending all of her time outdoors.
