Event Coordinator / CAA PRO / ACMG Ski Guide
Entrepreneur and Ski Guide, John has been involved in the Mechanized Ski Industry for 40 years. Currently the President for Northern Escape Heli Skiing and having spent a lifetime of risk management in the mountains while taking people out for their “Best Day Ever”, John was excited to get involved with The State of the Snowpack as a natural extension of his love to see people venturing into the mountains with safety at heart. His hope is to see more people out and enjoying the mountains with fewer wrecks and believes the best way to do this is to help provide as much information to all to improve the individual decision making while recreating.

Snowpack Presenter / CAA 3 PRO / ACMG SKI GUIDE
Ryan grew up passing the crowds in the singles line at Silver Star Mountain. Out of high school he ditched the heat of the Okanagan Valley to climb bigger mountains and chase deeper snow throughout British Columbia. His apprenticeship led to working as a professional ski patroller and then certifying as an ACMG ski guide. A Terrace transplant he now works as Director of Guiding Operations at Northern Escape Heli-Skiing where he has the privilege of dreaming about skiing year-round while mastering the art of the excel spreadsheet.
