Hailing from the ice coast, Ian’s slowly been working his way westward over the last decade, finally settling in Northwest Washington after running out of landmass and conveniently discovering what he deems the best skiing in the lower 48. Ian’s love for sliding on snow has taken him all over the world, and many of his happiest memories have been on the skin track. His greatest joy is facilitating experiences for folks who share his reverence for mountains and love for sliding on snow.
