Whitewater Resort forecaster; BC Ministry of Transportation Kootenay Pass Program; CAA instructor.

Dom Baker was born in Kenya and grew up in Victoria, BC, spending most of his time there staring at the snowy peaks of the Olympic Mountains of Washington state. After ski bumming in BC and NZ and working at a cat skiing lodge for a while he became a ski patroller and then avalanche forecaster at Whitewater Resort near Nelson, BC. Since 2014 he has been working with the Kootenay Pass Avalanche Program for the BC Ministry of Transportation, a job that keeps him learning and engaged to this day. Instructional work with the Canadian Avalanche Association and hosting with the Avalanche Hour Podcast have been amazing opportunities to share the stoke and explore the various facets of a diverse industry. In his spare time, you'll probably find him skiing or biking with his wife and kids, woodworking or exploring the backcountry somewhere.
