Guide

Stella grew up exploring the Cascades and Selkirks, taking any opportunity to be outside. At 19, she spent five months backpacking through Patagonia, Thailand, and Europe (having never backpacked before). In college, she coached competitive rock climbing and taught skiing at Mt Baker Ski Area. When she wasn’t skiing powder in Baker’s amazing backcountry, she was guiding sea kayaking and biking in the San Juan Islands. On her days off she ran some of the Northwest’s best terrain like the Enchantments and Timberline Trail. A job with Aspen Snowmass brought her to Colorado. 

In the summer, Stella loves long days exploring new loops, ridgelines, and hidden spots both on and off trail. She brings that same excitement to her clients, helping them discover new places while feeling more confident in the mountains. She loves creating experiences that challenge and empower people, and believes the mountains are for everyone.
