Beth has been skiing and living in Haines since 2012 and recently has taken her avalanche education to the professional level. She holds her Pro 1 certificate, WFR, and is an American Avalanche Association Pro member. She continues to learn and venture through the never ending journey of avalanche awareness and education- while encouraging others to do the same. Some of her goals this ski season are to collect quality field observations, maintain a good temperature in her thermos, and explore new places near home.

He is an American Avalanche Association (A3) Pro member, Pro 2 certified, holds a WFR, is an AIARE instructor and lead instructor for the Alaska Avalanche School.
