Hadley Hanna was a bright, spirited, and colorful firecracker who loved everyone.

When Hadley wasn't cartwheeling through life, she was giving hugs or performing. Known for her joyful smile, sneak attack cuddles to people and pets, endless dance moves, and tumbling prowess, Hadley brought joy wherever she went.

Hadley's Vertical Challenge

Hadley found so much joy in the mountains and loved skiing in Crested Butte, where every run reflected her adventurous spirit. In honor of what would have been her 10th birthday, we are launching Hadley's Vertical Challenge fundraiser and inviting friends, family, and supporters to celebrate her life on the slopes February 13-14, 2027.

You don't have to be in Crested Butte to participate. Ski anywhere, track your vertical feet, and invite others to support by making a one-time donation or by pledging $1 for every 1,000 vertical feet you ski. However you choose to join, every contribution helps honor Hadley's legacy.

While her time was tragically cut short, she had found a special home at Mystic, where she was a proud member of the Tonk tribe and an avid fisherwoman.

Hadley never met a stranger, and if she did, they weren’t one for long. She loved making everyone laugh with her silly personality, funny accents and sing-alongs — her smile, spirit and zest for life were unmatched. She had a heart of true gold.

To honor Hadley’s caring and jubilant spirit, we have established the Hugs From Hadley fund. Proceeds from the fund will benefit health and wellness initiatives, educational scholarships, first responders and rescue groups such as game warden K9 units.
