Sara Koop

In a military family, Sara spent much of her childhood in Hawaii before eventually settling in St. Louis, Missouri. During her time in St. Louis, Sara met and married her high school sweetheart, started her family, earned an associate degree in accounting, and launched her career in finance. Following in her mother’s footsteps, Sara entered the banking industry, working in various banks and credits unions for over 13 years. In 2010, Sara's mother moved to Steamboat Springs, and after their first visit to Steamboat a few summers later, Sara, her husband and two children were captivated by the mountain lifestyle. After their first day exploring the Yampa Valley, Sara and her family started making plans to relocate to Steamboat to spend more time with her mom. Sara and her family moved to Steamboat in 2016, where she found the perfect fit with Resort Group as their Director of Accounting. Sara's hard work and passion for learning helped her excel in at her job with Resort Group while she also continued her education to earn her bachelor's degree in accounting. In 2021, Sara was promoted to Vice President of Accounting, where she oversees a dynamic and multifaceted team of finance professionals. Sara continues to enjoy the summers in Colorado and has also ventured into the world of winter sports. She enjoys relaxing and reading on her front porch when she is not cheering on her daughters at their various events and activities.
