May Iceland Pow. 💥 60cm storm broke clear. Cold temps, light breeze, one to remember! @elevenskiing @elevenexperience @blizzard_tecnica @norrona @apocalypse_equipment @mauinuivenison @alpinecopter @theeffensearch
The last 8 days in Norway gave us all her moods, as always. I think I like all of them the same, but especially when the sun and pow collide. Huge gratitude to @shanebaron_ for great company and attitude for adventure, @mountainbureau for backend support, @apocalypse_equipment for the best damn gear out there, @blizzard_tecnica for the all condition tools. HEIA Norge 🇳🇴
30cm of cold snow today before bidding farewell the the NE Kingdom squadron after a fantastic week of silky corn, crisp reflections off fjords, raging westerlies, and a few pranks along the way. SOUND ON slide 4. Much thanks for @simihamilton and @mountainbureau for the good times and of course @plharris969 @wingbryce @rpowell07.ig @kiser7443 and the rest for relentless ski appetites no matter the conditions! @blizzard_tecnica @norrona @apocalypse_equipment @mauinuivenison

What My Clients say
Testimonials
We have had a banner adventure year (2020). Hopefully another one just as good next year. You are the only guide I ever want to go with in the future from now on.
Gary Bright, Colorado
The best adventure guides combine the prerequisite skills to keep their clients safe as well as an enthusiasm for the beauty and culture of the place. Ian provided this and more as he guided us through a dream backcountry ski trip in the Lyngen Alps.
Kate Smith
We had such an amazing time with Ian on our trip to the Lofoten Islands. He was extremely organized, communicated well, and planned a customized trip of a lifetime for us. His knowledge was remarkable and his energy was infectious. Truly could not recommend him enough!
