Owen DesRoches

Owen’s love for the outdoors began in the Northeast, where he grew up climbing and skiing. At 19, Owen moved to Bozeman, Montana to pursue his interest in these mountain activities. Now guiding in the Pacific Northwest, Owen continues to ski and climb as much as he can. When he’s not guiding, Owen enjoys cooking and spending time with friends and family.
