2010

Dan and Kerri Schwartz have purchased Ripple Creek Lodge from Ken Jett and are excited to begin renovations and operate the Lodge.  They were both previously employed for several seasons at Ripple Creek Lodge. Dan started his tenure at the Lodge during the 1993 season and continued his full time employment with the Lodge until the end of the 1995 season. During his two-year absence from the Lodge he continued to assist Ken Jett guiding during the hunting seasons and helping with the spring start up and fall winterization of the facilities. In 1998 Dan returned to work at the Ripple Creek Lodge full time where he met Kerri who was also employed by Ripple Creek Lodge. Ken contracted Dan and Kerri to manage the Lodge during the 2000 season. After the 2000 season, the couple left the Lodge to pursue year-round employment. They both continued to return annually and assist Ken with maintenance items and fall guiding.

Aside from the several years employed at Ripple Creek Lodge, Dan and Kerri has been very active in the outfitting and recreation industry. They have held an Outfitter’s license in the state of Colorado and outfitted private land hunts outside of Kremmling, Colorado. They are contributing members of several sportsmen’s associations and also own and operate a web site specific to outdoor activities in Colorado. They continue to maintain contact with past clients of Ripple Creek Lodge and have had several of these clients encourage them to pursue ownership of the Lodge.
