About Me

I grew up skiing back east in New England before I headed out west to Colorado where I attended Colorado College. After college I started ski patrolling at Taos Ski Valley in Taos NM where spending time in a continental snowpack made me appreciate a deeper snowpack in the interior part of British Columbia. I've spent my last two winters based in Nelson B.C. enjoying the commradarie and freedom to ski in many different areas. Along with skiing I've been guiding for RMI on Rainier, Denali, the North Cascades as well as internationally the last four years. My true passion is in ski mountaineering and looking for new terrain to explore. My hope is to start working this winter on a comprehensive guidebook for skiing in Rainier National Park.

Taos NM

Although it seems like I only spent a little time there.  Taos is a unique place to ski with a different vibe than most areas.  I'm glad to have started my outdoor career there.
