Tom Whipple

Tom hails from the very un-mountainous state of Rhode Island, but credits Vermont for sparking a twisted love of terrible ski conditions.  He began ski guiding in the San Juans of Colorado before moving north to interior BC, and primarily ski patrolling and guiding in the Steven’s Pass area of Washington.  He currently teaches AIARE courses and guides at home in NW Montana and in the Tetons.  Tom is an accomplished whitewater kayaker and a starry-eyed novice spear-fisherman.  Sliding on snow in beautiful places is something he is passionate about and that he loves to share with guests.
