Travis grew up nordic skiing in the Adirondacks, and moved to Colorado at the age of 17 to explore bigger mountains. There, he learned to snowboard by hiking for turns at roadside backcountry hotspots like St. Mary's Glacier and Berthoud Pass. Travis began working in the ski industry as a guide at Royal Gorge's Wilderness Lodge (R.I.P.), where he developed his passion for skiing the Sierra backcountry. Travis has since worked as a pro patroller at Monarch Pass, Squaw Valley, and Heavenly. He now divides his time between observing for SAC and teaching classes at Lake Tahoe Community College and Sierra Nevada College |
