Born and raised in Montana, Kaylee first clicked into a pair of skis at the ripe age of one. Ever since–and even still–everything else in life pales in comparison to floating on powder snow. Naturally, every life decision has largely revolved around skiing, and how to do more of it. 

Living in Silverton, with high peaks, rugged terrain (and most importantly, deep powder) accessible from the doorstep, she finds herself feeling right at home.

An AMGA Certified Ski Guide, Kaylee has been accompanying people to enjoy the mountains since 2015. Kaylee holds a Professional Level Two avalanche certification, the highest level of certification available in the United States. She has been backcountry skiing for over a decade and has sought out descents in the big mountains of Alaska, the Canadian Coast Range, the high peaks of Colorado, Cascade volcanoes, the French, Swiss and Italian Alps, and more. She is a professional member of the American Avalanche Association.

When not teaching courses for SAS, Kaylee guides backcountry skiing and other alpine activities around Telluride, Colorado and mountaineering and skiing in the Alaska Range for Mountain Trip, including guiding a handful of expeditions to the summit of Denali.

Her stoke is endless for the continued journey with SAS, and she couldn’t be happier to be part of such an inspiring team of snow professionals.
