Sunshine is a certified ski guide, avalanche educator, river guide, father, and husband who currently lives in Colorado's Roaring Fork Valley. He talks about his early days of backcountry skiing in Colorado before exploring Oregon's Wallowa Mountains as a ski guide for Wallowa Alpine Huts. 10 years ago, Sunshine was guiding a group of guests out of the Schneider Cabin on the South flank of Cornucopia Peak when an avalanche was triggered and tragically took the lives of one of his guests and his tail guide. Sunny spent the night with two other guests who were critically injured before being evacuated the next day. Through our discussion, he provides an honest reflection of the event and of the process of moving forward with his life and guiding career. We are grateful for his contribution to our community through sharing his story, which will undoubtedly help others.
