MOUNTAIN ATHLETE - GUIDE - SKI INSTRUCTOR

My goal is to get out in the mountains– climbing, running, skiing—- adventuring in every way I can, and showing others how to as well.

For 25 years I’ve called Aspen and Colorado home, and I take every opportunity to challenge myself and to encourage others to do the same.

GUIDING

Guided climbs, hikes, runs, hut trips, backpacks, and backcountry ski adventures– I operate under the permit of Aspen Alpine Guides. I have over two decades of experience in the mountains around Aspen, I’m a Wilderness First Responder and AIARE Level 2 avalanche certified.

More about guiding

SKIING

Heading to Aspen and need some instruction or a guide for your group? I’ve been a ski pro with the Ski Schools of Aspen/Snowmass for over 20 years and am PSIA fully certified. Bowl hikes, family privates, one-on-one, I can make sure you have a great ski experience while you’re here in Aspen.

More about ski instructing

MOUNTAIN ATHLETE

As a competitive ultrarunner I’ve completed more than 50 ultra distance events including ten Hardrock 100’s. In 2016 I was the 15th person to complete the grueling Nolan’s 14 course here in Colorado.

As a ski mountaineer I was the 3rd person to ski the Colorado 14ers. In 2015 I was honored to be National Geographic’s Adventurer of the Year for Ski Mountaineering with my wife Christy and partner Chris Davenport after completing our project to ski the 100 highest mountains in Colorado.

I’ve climbed mountains all over the world including Everest in 2003, as well as Ama Dablam, Denali, and the high summits of the South American Andes.

Instagram post 2192432851836095915_176657595 Happy Holidays! Honored to provide the photo for the @stiomountain holiday postcard. (Tagert Hut, Christmas Eve, 2018) Cheers to another good season! 🍻❄️🌨🏔 ⛷ #happyholidays #lettheoutsidein #huttrip
Instagram post 2183085964314053908_176657595 If the conditions today at Highlands are any indication, I’d say #openingday at @aspensnowmass tomorrow will be pretty awesome.

Instagram post 2142492899770085808_176657595 How do you like to cross the Knife Edge on Capitol Peak? Just to the left side, or the right? Maybe the no hands/balance beam daredevil style? Perhaps shimmy across as you straddle it “à  cheval”, a French term meaning on the horse 🐴, like the two climbers seen here? 
Maybe a little bit of everything, which was the case for me yesterday, it was a beautiful fall day for a solo mission to this awesome #14er - get it while you can and the weather is nice. #winteriscoming #athomeinthemountains
Instagram post 2138066052693031843_176657595 Another #hutrunhut is in the books, with beautiful weather, cool temps, a bit of fall color, and a really cool group.

It’s always a treat to explore our backyard this way— to log some nights at the #10thmountainhuts and days on the trails with @rickeygates and a bunch of new friends... who’s in for next summer?
