JAKE SKEEN

HELI-SKI GUIDE

Jake's affinity for skiing and spending time in wild mountains has taken him around the globe. He is a year-round IFMGA mountain guide and calls Jackson, WY home. Jake's favorite places to ski include the Chugach, Tetons, Alps, Andes and Cascades. He is a life-long student of the snow and enjoys working as an avalanche forecaster in addition to guiding. Skiing for Jake is all about the shared laughs and high fives at the top of peaks or the bottom of powder runs.
