Wes Bunch

Guide


Wes has a deep affinity for high and wild places, and his experiences and skills are varied and global in scope. A professional mountain guide since 1993, Wes began at AMS in 2013. He’s skied and climbed all over the world, but says Alaska is his favorite—especially Denali. He brings a lifetime of experience and a broad mountain sense to the expeditions and courses he leads, sharing it all with a joyful and clear communication style. When Wes isn’t skiing or climbing in faraway places, you can usually find him in Jackson, Wyoming, riding his bike on a remote dirt path or sitting in front of a coffee shop with human and canine friends.
