MEET ALEX

Born and raised in China, Alex spent years climbing big mountains in the corporate world before finding his true home in the Pacific Northwest and the rugged ranges of Wild West Montana. He is a certified snowboard and ski instructor based in Big Sky, Montana, who finds the most peace moving through ridgelines, steep faces, technical glaciated terrain, and the deep valleys of the North Cascades. When he’s not leading adventures in the mountains, you might find him chasing questionable fastest known time dog walking records or perfecting ultralight gourmet meals for the next trip into the wild.
