Cameron Bordner
Advisory Board

Cameron grew up in Durango, Colorado and has been a skier and outdoor enthusiast his entire life.  After graduating college, he did post-graduate work at the University of Colorado at Boulder, and during that time began ski patrolling at Eldora Mountain Resort.  As a ski patroller, Cameron’s interest in backcountry skiing and avalanche awareness, as well as ski resort safety and risk management, grew.  He attended various avalanche courses and started the avalanche dog program at Eldora, while also becoming the Director of Safety there.  While living in the Boulder area, Cameron competed on the Rocky Mountain Telemark Series and did extensive ski film and photo work.  Eventually, Cameron left ski patrolling to accept a position as a ski area risk consultant with Acordia Resort Services, a nationally recognized ski resort insurer.  It was that job that brought him to beautiful Truckee, California.  Cameron later took the Director of Risk Management position at Heavenly Mountain Resort, in South Lake Tahoe, California.

After immersing himself in ski resort risk management and liability for virtually his entire career, he decided he wanted to do more to help and defend the ski industry.  As such, he applied and was accepted to the University of the Pacific McGeorge School of Law, where he earned his law degree. Cameron continues to live in Truckee and practices ski resort and recreation defense in Incline Village, Nevada with the law firm Lauria Tokunaga Gates & Linn, LLP. 

In addition to being an advisor to the Sierra Avalanche Center, Cameron is on the board of directors for the Tahoe Truckee Bar Association and volunteers with the Tahoe Adaptive Ski School at Alpine Meadows.  In his spare time, Cameron loves to telemark and nordic ski, mountain bike, cycle, practice yoga and surf.
