Alumni Testimonials

Our graduates are ready to lead, taking the lessons they learned at LTP and building upon them, offering their unique contributions to their communities and the world.

For many, they attribute these accomplishments to the strong foundational experience they had at LTP.

"After LTP, I returned to my home country of Norway and worked with multi-handicapped children at one of the regional hospitals. I returned to Lake Tahoe and attended Sierra Nevada College and decided to enroll at the University of San Francisco for my third college year. During my time at LTP, I noticed a lot of people drinking bottled water when they came up to Squaw Valley. That experience sparked an idea. During my stay in San Francisco, the idea became more and more of a reality. I decided to leave USF and start my water business full-time. The company I started was Voss Water ASA. Today, I am the third largest owner in the company, but I left as an employee in 2002 and went into the family business, Harlem Food AG, where I am CEO. I would like to use this opportunity to thank all of you for making my time at LTP the greatest time in my life."

"Being at LTP was one of the best experiences I’ve had in life. Besides the great education, friendly people, and fantastic sport opportunities, I was able to follow my passion of snowboarding. I became a professional snowboarder after I left and studied medicine next to my sports career. I have started a global company which helps the progression of all sorts of freestyle sports by learning tricks in a safe environment that we call a “BagJump.”You can even see our products in the Lake Tahoe area at Boreal Mountain Resort and at the Red Bull Pro-Training events at Squaw Valley. LTP was great! I wish I could do it all again!"
