Her next piece for the Post focuses on Jackson Hole Mountain Resort ski camps.
Mishev serves as the editor of Jackson Hole Magazine and writes a bimonthly Excursion travel column for the News&Guide. She also authored the C-Word, a 2015-16 column about her battle with cancer, which can be found online at JHNewsAndGuide.com/opinion/columnists/c-word.
