She has been a contributor to "Skiing Heritage" magazine and has published an article on the 1960 Olympics for "The Atlantic."

They raised their family in Alpine Meadows. Eddy is vice-president of the Board of Directors of the future Sierra Nevada Olympic Wintersports (SNOW) Museum scheduled for construction in 2022 at the entrance to Squaw Valley. In her book, "Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows: Tales from Two Valleys 70th Anniversary Edition, Eddy shares the behind-the-scene stories of Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows as they’ve never been told before, including the stories of John Reily, Wayne Poulsen and Alex Cushing, the visionaries whose dreams and determination forever transformed skiing in North Lake Tahoe. Squaw made a name for itself on the world stage thanks to its surprise nomination as host of the 1960 Winter Olympics. Meanwhile, just one mountain apart, Alpine was built with the support of local skiers and Bay Area families. Today, a new chapter unfolds as the distinct philosophies behind Squaw and Alpine unite under common ownership.
