Kristina Von Trapp, Director of the Trapp Family Lodge, was born and raised in Stowe, Vermont on her family’s property, the Trapp Lodge. She spent her last two years of high school at The Governor’s Academy in Massachusetts. She then attended University of Vermont, graduating in 1992, where she started teaching alpine skiing and fell in love with helping people have fun and enjoy the mountains.

After college, her professional alpine ski instruction continued in Stowe and Perisher, Australia and then for seven years in Aspen, CO where her first child was born. Kristina and her husband, Walter Frame moved back to Stowe in 2003 to raise their family and to work at Trapp Family Lodge. Growing up in the hospitality business has taught her about the value of hard work, inclusivity, and that everyone has their own story.
