The Crew

An expatriate of Ohio and adopted West Virginian, Matt now calls Utah home. Matt has lived in Utah for 20+ years working in the Outdoor Industry the entire time.

He enjoys guiding because of the people he meets and moments he helps create/share.

Preservation of the National Parks is a main passion for Matt due to his belief in keeping all that we have saved for future generations to enjoy. His favorite quote comes from John Muir : “Of all the paths you take in life, make sure a few of them are on dirt.”

He is an IMBA (International Mountain Biking Association) certified Mountain Bike Instructor.

Matt is a United States Army veteran, currently serves in the United States Air Force, has 4 children, and resides in Park City.

Native to Vermont, she set off to explore Utah. Molly now calls Park City home.

Growing up on the East Coast, Molly was surrounded by mountains to climb and waters to test.

As she began studying Outdoor Education at Plymouth State University, her love for the outdoor industry only flourished.

She appreciates and respects the challenging elements of the mountains- especially their immersive draw.

Molly has 4+ years of guiding experience including the White Mountains of New Hampshire and the West Deserts of Utah.

She enjoys backpacking/hiking, skiing, rock climbing and all things mountain related.

Molly thrives while finding and embracing adventures in the mountains.

Katie is an avid outdoor enthusiast and environmental advocate.

Growing up on the East Coast of Florida, Katie spent most of her days in or on the water.

After earning her B.S. from Florida State University, she went on to spend a season exploring the mountains of Colorado.

Katie called Colorado home for nearly two years before moving to Utah, wanting to explore the Wasatch Range.

Since moving out West, she continues to advance her skills in snowboarding, backpacking and rock climbing.

Katie plans to continue working and playing in the mountains, always on the look for new adventures.

Steve has 30 years of executive level management experience, along with nearly 15 years of facilitating outdoor-based experiential leadership development programs.

His passions include skiing, biking and running in the Wasatch mountains.

During the winter he teaches adaptive skiing to individuals with mental and/or physical challenges.

In his spare time, he’s the Associate Dean of Business Programs for Independence University.

Born and raised in the hill country of Ohio – a classic example of a man gone West.

Living life as a Park City local and having raised children here has been one of his life’s great achievements.

John is an expert split boarder. He has toured Rogers Pass, Wrangell Mountains of Alaska, Mt. Baker, the Rockies, the Tetons, the Wasatch, Sierras, Dolomites of Italy, the Austrian Alps, Chamonix and Iceland to name a few.

He also is a whitewater rafting expert with solo and group expeditions in the USA and Costa Rica.

Lover of all 2 wheeled machines – active mountain biker and adventure motorcyclist.

More than this, his true connection to community and work is kindness, humility and safety. He’s happy and comfortable teaching/ leading beginners as well as seasoned clients.

John is WFR, WFA, adult and child CPR, Swift Water Rescue, and AIARE Level 2 certified. He also holds certificates in local beer and restaurant knowledge.

 

Tori Sowul is a free spirit who feels at home whenever she is in the mountains.

A native to Park City, she loves sharing her active lifestyle, historic and cultural knowledge and funky hometown vibes with others.

In the winter,  she has hard time keeping composure on powder days and will let her natural stoke lead her to the best untouched pockets on the mountain.

Every other season, you can find her covered in dirt, smelling of campfire, and with awkward tan lines.  The phrase bike obsession wouldn’t do her justice – from cross country to the bike park, this gal loves to flow!

Outside of her own personal outdoor joy, Tori is extremely passionate about helping others learn, grow and explore in these activities.  She is an IMBA certified instructor and has her wildlife first aid; let her guide you through new and fun experiences!

From the beginning of my childhood, I was encouraged to wander, explore, and create. That basic principle of discovering the unknown has led me on a journey of big mountain exploring consisting of skiing, climbing, ice climbing, hiking, white water rafting, mountain biking and kayaking. I push every boundary and challenge myself constantly, both mentally and physically. I enjoy guiding because I am able to share my passion of outdoor adventures with people who don’t always get the opportunity to explore.

Recently transplanted from Seattle, Stacey now calls Park City home.

She came to the Wasatch for the winters but stayed for the summers.

Stacey is a mountaineer by trade. She has summited Mt. Rainier, Mt. Shuksan, Dragontail Peak, South Early Winter Spire (SEWS) in the PNW among other summits internationally, including Mt. Kilimanjaro.

When she’s not skiing in the winter, you can find her snowshoeing or skate skiing around Park City.

In the summer, she loves to backpack, mountain bike and scramble the peaks of the Wasatch Range.

Stacey loves to guide because it gets more people stoked about spending time in the mountains.

Her certifications include AIARE 1 and Wilderness First Aid.
