Guide: Alaska

Growing up in the central part of Washington state afforded Ross endless opportunities to experience the outdoors from a very young age. After a seven year career with the Forest Service, two of which working as a Smokejumper, Ross decided to pursue mountain guiding as a full time profession. He is working to become certified mountain guide under the American Mountain Guides Association. Ross enjoys all manner and means of playing in the mountains, and he finds satisfaction in sharing mountain environs with others. He values his experiences in far-away places as well as his time at home in Winthrop, WA.
