Adam Dowell was born and raised in Jackson Wyoming. Growing up he played all sports but loved the independence of skating and snowboarding and that’s where he felt his passion. After about 15 years pursuing it as a profession he decided to step away and focus his efforts on his family, work, and starting Carving The Future. Today he’s married with two young boys he hopes to raise as little rippers! You can read more about Adam and starting CTF on the website “ABOUT” section.

Lynn Neil
Executive Director 
lynn@carvingthefuture.com

Lynn is a Jackson Hole native and fell in love with snowboarding at the age of 10. Her path led her to Utah to pursue college and snowboarding. After nearly 2 decades of living in Northern Utah, Lynn's path brought her back home. While she was away, she started the Weber State University Snowboard Club in Ogden and eventually created The Wasatch Project (a ski and snowboard team) with her husband and coach. After competing in numerous disciplines throughout her snowboarding career, it was time to settle down and have a family. Lynn and her husband Dustin welcomed their baby boy, Kiran in 2017. Unfortunately, cancer took her husband in 2018 and 3 years later, her father passed away, leaving his home for sale. The decision to move back to Jackson was hard as she had fallen in love with Utah, but nothing compared to home. In 2022, Lynn and her son moved back to Jackson and found the position with Carving The Future. She is excited to be back home and is looking forward to sharing her passion with the youth we work with.
