What about skiing keeps you coming back for more?
Snow is an ever-changing variable, and as a backcountry guide, that means constantly navigating a dynamic environment. There’s so much fulfillment in moving through terrain because of this. Even at a place like the Blanket Chalet, which I know intimately, no two days are ever the same. That fires me up!

What drew you to 4FRNT?
No other ski lineup fits the environments I move through better. Plus, I’ve watched my good buddy Hoji pour everything into designing these skis—it feels great to help spread the good shape. I get a lot of fulfillment in giving guests a better-than-expected experience, and having 4FRNT demos on hand helps me elevate that.

Hot dogs or hamburgers?
mmmmm, burgers.
