About me

After seeing one too many reflections in the icy Adirondack Mountains, Mark took a drive to McCall and never skied back. After several years of teaching lessons, tuning gear, and working in marketing at Brundage Mountain, he began a pursuit of guiding rock climbing with Idaho Mountain Guides in the warmer months. He continues to coach the McCall Winter Sports Club Backcountry Team, and guide for Payette Powder Guides when winter takes hold. If he’s not skiing or climbing, he’s practicing photography/videography with Payette Media Productions, playing music with friendly people, tinkering/building something, deep diving into a Youtube rabbithole, or enjoying the company of family & friends. His favorite ski descents include the Middle Teton Glacier, Nick Peak, Monument Peak, Mt. Adams and Tuckerman’s Ravine.

Trip: McCall - Rappelling Techniques

With Mark S. on May 24, 2026

Company: Idaho Mountain Guides

We had an absolutely amazing time. Our guide, Mark was extremely knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and patient. He tailored the day’s focus based on our interests. The opportunity to learn was always constant. We were given the chance to learn as much as we desired. Mark was super helpful in any way he could. He made sure the route was within our comfort zone. He even put in extra time to hit an extra route! It was a day well spent and super duper fun! I’d definitely recommend it.

Our kids had a great time at camp! This was their first rope climbing experience and they learned a lot. Mark was a great guide and kept them engaged even when it rained on their last day. We highly recommend Mark and Idaho Mountain Guides for kids' climbing experiences!
