Kirsten Kremer

Kirsten began guiding and instructing for AMS in 2000, and if ever someone has followed her natural talent and dreams, it is Kirsten. She has been climbing since 1991 and began teaching and guiding in 1993. She has skied every season in the Chugach since 1993 and has worked as a heli-ski guide since 1996. Kirsten’s enthusiasm and adventures around the world are legendary: She has paraglided off of the Augille de Midi in Chamonix, skied from 18,000 feet on Denali, and won awards as an extreme skiing champion. She regularly climbs 5.12 rock routes and has put up first ascents in Yosemite Valley and in Alaska. Kirsten feels right at home either skiing down or climbing up. She has put in her time as a guide and it shows: she is a professional and is as famous for her exploits as for her indomitable spirit, her laugh, and big smile. She calls Chickaloon, Alaska, her home base, where she spends her time when not traveling abroad on countless climbing and skiing adventures. She skydives too.
