Caleb got his start in the snow and avalanche world in 2006 while working as a ski patroller and avalanche mitigation tech at Solitude Mountain Resort in Utah. He spent 10 winters working as a heli-ski guide in Nevada and Alaska. Caleb works as an avalanche forecaster and teaches AIARE courses for the Wallowa Avalanche Center- as well as ski guides for Eagle Cap Mountain Guides. He is a certified ski guide through the AMGA, is a professional member of the American Avalanche Association, and is a level 3 guide-member with Heliski US. While there is no snow on the ground, Caleb enjoys long trail runs with his dog Arlo and riding his dirt bike with his wife Stephani. Caleb started The Avalanche Hour in 2016 to share stories and moments of learning within our unique community. He is thrilled to have seen it grow since then to include many diverse voices and perspectives from around the globe. In 2023, Caleb and the team at The Avalanche Hour Podcast received the Sue Fergeson Award from the American Avalanche Association in recognition of their efforts to promote avalanche awareness to the public through various media endeavors.
