GABBY ANSTEY
Gabby Anstey came to Telluride 10 years ago and quickly resigned herself to the fact that the San Juan Mountains were home. When she’s not typing away at her computer, she can be found traveling the world and checking out its mountains either by ski, bike or foot. As far as Telluride is concerned, Gabby has no plan of leaving. She can’t imagine living in a more magnificent place and neither can her Alaskan malamute, Banyan.
