I started working with Jordan when he was just getting Mountain Shadows Adventures off the ground in 2021, and the progression since then has been incredible. I've spent time with Jordan every season since our first activity together in the White Mountains of NH. Jordan helped me transition from an advanced resort skier with limited backcountry experience into a confident ski mountaineer, capable of ice climbing technical routes on Mount Washington and skiing descents from the summit over the lip. Under his guidance, I've also progressed my multi-pitch rock and ice climbing skills, completing glaciated ski mountaineering objectives such as Mount Baker, WA, and Mount Washington, NH (multiple routes over the last four seasons). Jordan consistently delivers professionalism while keeping every outing fun, engaging, and well thought out. His curriculum and guiding are structured yet flexible, adapting to conditions and individual goals while maintaining a clear progression. Most importantly, safety is always the top priority—without ever detracting from the quality of the experience. Jordan creates exceptional opportunities to grow skills and confidence in technical terrain, and I can’t recommend him highly enough.
