Chelsey Cook

Coming to Alaska by way of the Army, Chelsey fell in love with our state’s endless opportunities for adventure and began guiding for AMS in 2018. She is originally from northern New Hampshire, where she first cultivated her backpacking, skiing, and climbing skills. Since moving to Alaska and leaving the military, Chelsey has logged countless weeks exploring the Alaska, Brooks, and Chugach Ranges via skis, packraft, and on foot. Chelsey lives full-time in Alaska, and when not in the mountains she can be found fishing, mountain biking, speedflying, and working as a freelance writer.
