Shane Robinson
Shane was born and raised in Colorado, but the flat part, east of Denver. Working as a whitewater raft guide in Buena Vista, Colorado on the Arkansas River was Shane’s intro into professional work in the outdoors and mountain culture. From there, he went on to ski patrol at Copper Mountain and Palisades Tahoe before eventually moving to Seattle, WA. Shane started ski guiding in 2012 and now works year round ski guiding and mountain guiding around the world, but mostly in the Pacific Northwest and Canada. On his days off, if he’s not skiing or climbing, you might find him rafting down a river or at a favorite coffee shop in Seattle with his Bernese Mountain Dog or if his wife is lucky, working on a house project.
