"I see Jed's as the most significant ski mountaineering feat of the millennium, eclipsing all sorts of derring-do… by pushing instead into a realm where making death-defying turns is balanced alongside a healthy dose of ‘Red Lining the fun meter.’"

I skied with Jed once and then came back a dozen more times. Jed is an unparalleled mountain professional and while he can deliver an amazing day out to anyone, he excels at helping committed clients achieve big, aspirational objectives through patient mentorship, thoughtful risk management and unflagging positive support. Jed can guide you to the threshold of once-in-a-lifetime experiences and will prepare you to open the door. There is no praise too grand for Jed’s work.

I want once again to express my gratitude for your part in making our trip so extraordinary and successful. You are a superb guide, and I never felt unsafe with you at the helm, even with the occasionally marginal conditions.
