Dan Corn

Dan is an IFMGA/UIAGM certified mountain guide with experience all around the globe. Skiing is Dan’s greatest passion, but he greatly enjoys all aspects of mountain travel. He especially loves any opportunity to combine climbing and skiing into one grand adventure.

Dan’s career began in New England, working for the US Forest Service as a backcountry ranger and guiding for the International Mountain Climbing School. In 2007 he headed west to guide on Denali for Alaska Mountaineering School and to work for Exum Mountain Guides in the Tetons. Currently a senior guide at Exum, he continues to lead trips for AMS and has also spent time heli-ski guiding for Valdez Heli-Ski Guides, Tordrillo North, Powder South, and the Eleven Experience. He also works for the American Avalanche Institute, teaching avalanche courses around the Northern Rockies. From 2015-2017 Dan took a break from full-time guiding and worked as a climbing ranger on Denali for the National Park Service patrolling the highest peak in North America and doing high altitude rescue work.

Some of Dan’s accomplishments include having received the Hans Saari Exploration Grant for an early attempt to ski the South Face of Denali; the first descent of the South Face of Mt. Moran; skiing multiple routes off the Grand Teton; climbing the first ascent of the Intimidating Bicycle Ride (NEI5+) on Cathedral Ledge; and a free ascent of the Rainbow Wall (V 5.12) in Red Rocks. Mountaineering ascents in the Himalaya and Alaska round out his experience. Dan also received a valor award from the US Government for work on a significant rescue in the Tetons in 2010.

Dan is always psyched to spend time in the mountains, helping you learn and guiding you to achieve your climbing and skiing goals.
