I grew up backcountry telemark skiing in the Wasatch. Leather boots and skinny skis were the tools that opened up the wintry mountains to me. But I was far away from glaciers and big alpine terrain. As a teenager I dreamed of big mountains and icy adventures. Fortunately I was able to rediscover and realize those dreams in my adult life when I moved to the PNW. Friends and Mentors have helped me succeed in becoming a ski guide. I feel fortunate to be able to open up the mountains to those seeking snowy adventure and fulfillment on skis.
