Jack Love

Originally from the Pacific Northwest, Jack grew up exploring the backcountry throughout the region. He has spent a lot of his time since then getting to know the mountains and exploring
the terrain across Alaska and the PNW. Whether on skis or on foot, Jack enjoys helping others find their own rhythm in the mountains and engage more closely with the backcountry environment. When he isn’t in the high country, he works as a salmon fisherman. Off the clock, you can find him looking for good swimming holes and always on the lookout for the best local tacos.
