Doug Bernard

Ski­er, climber, adven­tur­er, avalanche edu­ca­tor, mil­i­tary vet­er­an, and cur­rent­ly pur­su­ing train­ing to become an AMGA/IFMGA guide, Doug began his life­long love of adven­tur­ing and build­ing friend­ships in the moun­tains at a young age in his home­town of Ketchum, Ida­ho. Work­ing towards guide cer­ti­fi­ca­tion with his men­tors in the guide com­mu­ni­ty and at Moun­tain Mad­ness has allowed Doug to turn his pas­sion for teach­ing and shar­ing expe­ri­ences in the moun­tains into a pro­fes­sion. Through­out his life, the moun­tains have always played an inte­gral role in pro­vid­ing expe­ri­ences and build­ing friend­ships as Doug pur­sued chal­lenge, mas­tery, stoke, and con­nec­tion. Doug’s per­son­al and pro­fes­sion­al work have allowed him the good for­tune to ski and climb on five con­ti­nents. In his spare time, you can find him seek­ing out stoke in the moun­tains with friends.
