Pete Seibert, Jr., was one of the lucky kids who got to be here from the start. When his father built the resort in the summer of ‘62, Pete played cowboys and Indians in the hayloft at the ranch house where the family stayed on weekend visits from Denver.
Pete’s life, like his father’s, revolved around the mountain. It was his playground. He skied and raced in the winter and hiked and later built trails in the summer. Pete graduated from high school in 1973 and went off to Middlebury College in Vermont with plans to go on to law school.
“I had this goal because I thought it was what I should do, but it was sort of nebulous, so I took a year off after college and worked for the ski patrol just to earn money,” Pete remembers with a chuckle. “My first day on the job I was trimming bushes in Sundown Bowl (on Vail Mountain) with Charlie Malloy and he told me he was the patrolman who picked me up in 1962 when I broke my leg. That’s when it hit me that there was career potential doing what I loved to do best - skiing.”
He patrolled for three more years at Vail before embarking on his next great adventure - starting a “new Vail” at Snowbasin in Utah with his father and former Vail mayor Rod Slifer. For the next five years he and his father worked to transform the tiny day ski area into a major destination resort. Teri Salani, a fellow patroller from Vail, moved out to Utah to be with him and they married in 1983. Then, when Sun Valley bought Snowbasin in 1985, the young Seibert’s moved to Idaho for a couple of years. Still, they had not found home.
With their first child, Petey, on the way, Pete and Teri decided to come back to Vail, “just until we could find jobs in another ski area.” Today, four children and many years later, they’re still here, and very happily so.
Pete now works as a real estate broker. He says he feels more a part of the community now than when growing up here, probably because of all his children’s activities. They camp at Piney Lake, go to the country rodeo, tube Gore Creek and visit all Pete’s favorite nooks and crannies on his childhood playground, Vail Mountain.
“The longer we stay here, the more involved we get, so we’ll be here for a long time,” says Pete. “I still feel a sense of adventure in this valley when I think of what’s to come. It’s exciting!”
