ABOUT US

AMY + JEFF GROOM

Jeff Groom is a fifth-generation native of the Roaring Fork Valley, a place where his family’s legacy runs deep. For Jeff, happiness is found in the saddle, far from the reach of cell signals and the noise of modern life. His profound connection with horses is evident; he is the driving force behind Snowmass Creek Outfitters. People often wonder how we find such exceptional horses, but the truth is, the horses find Jeff.

Jeff's journey intertwined with Amy's almost two decades ago in Downtown Basalt when her sister dared her to talk to the cowboy in the corner. Amy, born and raised in Colorado, made her way to the Roaring Fork Valley after college. She had always dreamed of having horses and riding off into the sunset with a cowboy—and well, what do you know, fate made that dream come true.

Together, they have two sons, Dylan and Bowen, who share their parents' passion for the western lifestyle. In the summer, Dylan and Bowen can often be seen roping the dummy, helping with saddling, or spending an entire Wednesday preparing for the Snowmass Rodeo. During the school year, they both take their tough genetic tenacity onto the fields and rink.

The Groom family's roots in the Roaring Fork Valley are strong, and their dedication to the western way of life is unmatched. Jeff and Amy Groom embody the spirit of the West, living out their dreams and passing on their love for this unique and storied way of life to their sons.
