Background

About Alex Elkerton

As an outdoor operations leader and backcountry guide, I bring a diverse skill set honed through years of managing adventure tourism businesses, guiding adaptive outdoor experiences, and overseeing high-end hospitality operations. My career spans from ski and snowboard instruction to heli-ski tail guiding and avalanche education, with a focus on making outdoor sports accessible to everyone, regardless of ability. I’m passionate about adaptive sports, backcountry skiing, and building inclusive outdoor communities. I’ve designed and delivered tailored programs that meet the unique needs of participants, collaborated with industry partners to create low-barrier access to the outdoors, and mentored the next generation of adventurers. My experience in high-end hospitality includes managing luxury lodge operations, ensuring seamless guest experiences, and leading teams that prioritize service excellence. Whether it’s heli-skiing, leading adaptive backcountry clinics, or managing luxury lodge operations, I strive to make outdoor destinations safe, accessible, and unforgettable for all. I’m always looking for new opportunities to innovate and connect people with the outdoors in meaningful ways.
