Isaac Silvers

Isaac Silvers, freshman at Vail Mountain School, was born in the booming city of San Francisco, spending his first 13 years taking the J Train to school, sailing, and rowing on the windy bay. It was his idea to move to the mountains in 8th grade, with no fear of the cold, to start skiing the way only Coloradans can. Isaac will act, sing, and dance across any stage he can find, with the hopes of one day performing on Broadway. Green-eyed and long-haired, Isaac is a big-brother first, an avid scuba diver and gamer, practices lucid dreaming and eats as much ramen as possible. Most importantly, Isaac Silvers is not ashamed to be nice.
