Elevation and the Human Experience

When I’m not busy crunching numbers or collecting data from the frozen ends of the earth, I work as an outdoor guide in the mountains near my home in southwestern Montana. We spend our days skiing snow-covered peaks and wandering through the world’s first national park, generally trying to avoid unpleasant surprises from the local bears. Whether on two planks or on foot, I like to believe most people become slightly better humans when they’re reminded how small they are in this very large world.
