Lexi Dowdall | Dream Job

As a 5th generation Utahn, Lexi was basically raised by the ski slopes in Little Cottonwood Canyon. Her parents worked in the canyons, and she was continuously kicked out the door of the clinic to hit the slopes and entertain herself alongside her sister. 

In 2020, Lexi picked up a paintbrush and taught herself to paint via YouTube watercolor tutorials. She claims her first paintings were pretty rough, but nonetheless, she persisted and found a new creative outlet through a paintbrush. Painting from snowmelt has become her specialty, and you can find paintings of many Utah resorts and more on her website. 

“Being on the mountain every day and skiing inspires my art and creating that art my gives skiing a deeper purpose.”

Fast forward to 2024, Lexi landed her dream job at Alta Ski Area and is continuing to stretch her creativity in her new role. And don't worry...she's committed to keep painting in her free time.
