PETE PATTERSON

BIO

Pete has been trekking, climbing and exploring faraway places as long as he can remember. His interest in travel sparked while training around the world during his years on the US Ski Team (competing in 2 Olympics and capturing a bronze in the World Championships).

Pete’s love for rivers, mountains and people naturally led him into the guide world, working for one of the original commercial whitewater rafting companies in Nepal. Pete’s true love, skiing, keeps him busy guiding helicopter skiing 5 months of the year-in his home of Sun Valley (Idaho), and in the stunning coastal mountains of southern Greenland. A proficient climber, he has made ascents of numerous 20,000 ft + peaks in Nepal and South America along with the first telemark descent of the Polish glacier route on Aconcagua (South America’s highest peak at 22,835 ft).

Pete’s boundless energy and sense of adventure, combined with his level of competence and skills acquired from a lifetime of guiding guarantee you a most exciting adventure anywhere on the planet!
