Nick has a deep appreciation for skiing and the mountains he skis on. His background in backcountry guiding, mountaineering, avalanche education, and in the ski industry makes him a perfect fit for the free ride team. He has a passion for sharing his love of the outdoors with other skiers of all skill levels. Nick grew up in Washington and has a bachelor’s degree from Western Washington University. The Red Lodge area is a great location for his explorer attitude. In his spare time, he likes to climb, works at Beartooth Basin in the summer, and slings a mean cocktail at Natalie’s Front Bar.
