About me

Hello! I have been guiding in the Rocky Mountain West for around 6 years now, working and living in Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, California and Colorado. After spending so much time living out of backpacks, trucks, campers and cabins, I have finally put down roots with my wife and our two dogs here in SW Colorado. This is one of my favorite areas in the country because of the access to so much quality rock climbing, ice climbing, backcountry skiing, mountain biking and backpacking! With a background in education and instruction I love getting people out and helping you learn a new skill, accomplish an objective or just have a good time in this beautiful part of Colorado!

Really enjoyed the whole course! Favourite part was planning our own adventure on the Saturday evening, and then carrying out our plan on Sunday. I enjoyed learning about snow types and conditions and how they change throughout the season. Awesome experience all round!

It was amazing! Chris did a great job educating the crew on how to plan a safe route in the backcountry, how to read snow, great tips to use in the backcountry and how to use our avalanche gear! I’m so geeked to use all information to plan trips in the backcountry.
