Originally from Vail, Colorado, Kate Schaffer grew up ski racing and cultivating a passion for the mountains. In 2019, a trip to Blanket Glacier Chalet with her girlfriends changed the course of her life when she met Marty and fell in love. Today, Kate and Marty run the Blanket and CAPOW Guiding together while raising their two young boys in Revelstoke. After leaving a career in sales and tech in 2023, Kate now focuses on operating and growing the Blanket and CAPOW business, while still finding deep joy in the adventure of ski touring—and sneaking in a few well-earned turns whenever she can.
In DAYS OFF, a seven-months pregnant Kate welcomes Katie into their family life in the Revelstoke backcountry, highlighting the non-stop reality of running a family-owned lodge.
