Geoff Lodge
A jack of all the outdoor trades, Geoff is a year-round full-time guide based in Bend, Oregon. You’ll find him roaming the local hills of Central Oregon, crimping small handholds at Smith Rock, and slaying lap after lap on his skis. His adventures have taken him all over the United States, Canada, Alaska, and Europe. He’s lead expeditions to Denali and Mt Logan in the Yukon. Skied numerous traverses in Canada and the Alps and amassed over 400+ summits of Mt Hood. To say Geoff likes to be outside, is an understatement!
He began his guiding career in 2005 and hasn’t looked back since. Finishing his certification with the American Mountain Guides Association several years ago, Geoff is a fully certified IFMGA/AMGA Mountain Guide. Only a handful of Americans hold this title. He’s a Wilderness First Responder and leads AIARE 1 and 2 Avalanche Courses during the Winter months. Geoff leads the full range of Rock, Alpine, Ski, and international programs.
