Growing up in Calais Vermont I was always running around the hills and valleys, playing in the brooks and swimming holes, climbing every cliff and tree I could find, and hiking in the Worcester and Groton mountains. Now as a adult nothing has changed besides the size of the cliffs and mountains I am climbing and more importantly skiing down. I take every opportunity I am not stuck at work to ski, whether that be night missions or dawn patrols my goal everyday is to fill it with as much powder and mountain views as I can. Being outside has always been at the forefront of my life, my career in wilderness EMS and ski patrolling is based around rescuing injured people in hard to get outdoor places, having been given so much by the outdoors I feel its important to give back as well and for myself I feel the most beneficial way is through assisting others when they are in real need of medical assistance in the mountains.

Ethan's Accomplishments:

My dream adventure is to go on a multiday backcountry skiing trip on Baffin island. Nothing excites me more than huge splitter couloirs and the Canadian arctic, given the ability to get up there, hire a guide, and not get eaten by a polar bear I would love to make this trip happen!
