AIDAN GOLDIE

Born in Chile, Aidan (he/him/his) spent much of his childhood living in South America before immigrating to the United States where he lives today. In the latter half of his childhood, Aidan called the mountains of Colorado home and grew up exploring his rugged backyard peaks
through the lens of backcountry skiing and ultrarunning. He is now settled in the Roaring Fork Valley where he works as a High School Physics teacher to support his community through equitable and intentional education practices. Aidan loves to guide in the context of education. Aidan brings over a decade of backcountry skiing experience to his courses and a mindset for teaching avalanche awareness with a framework of critical thinking that will persist with students beyond a weekend course.

When not teaching, Aidan feels most at home in cold winter environments with something sharp strapped to his feet. Whether it is a pair of skis or crampons, Aidan is on a continual search for aesthetic climbs and descents in our Rocky Mountains.
