Good to have these reminders that it doesn\u2019t have to be great conditions or having to complete an objective to have a successful day. A bluebird day in March to a summit that I\u2019ve never been to before and guests that were up for an adventure regardless of the snow quality \u2013 that was the recipe for a good day!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_780\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-780\" style=\"width: 1080px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-780 size-full\" title=\"Views of Turnagain arm \u2013 on my \u201cbest but worst\u201d day of the year guiding in Alaska.\" src=\"https:\/\/www.voile.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/20180322-DSC01910.jpg\" alt=\"Views of Turnagain arm \u2013 on my \u201cbest but worst\u201d day of the year guiding in Alaska.\" width=\"1080\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.voile.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/20180322-DSC01910.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.voile.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/20180322-DSC01910-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.voile.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/20180322-DSC01910-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.voile.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/20180322-DSC01910-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.voile.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/20180322-DSC01910-100x63.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.voile.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/20180322-DSC01910-1064x665.jpg 1064w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-780\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Views of Turnagain arm \u2013 on my \u201cbest but worst\u201d day of the year guiding in Alaska.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_786\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-786\" style=\"width: 1080px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-786 size-full\" title=\"Always fun running into people in the mountains: my colleague, friend and now business partner Joe Stock - guiding in Alaska\" src=\"https:\/\/www.voile.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/20180313-DSC01811.jpg\" alt=\"Always fun running into people in the mountains: my colleague, friend and now business partner Joe Stock - guiding in Alaska\" width=\"1080\" height=\"629\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.voile.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/20180313-DSC01811.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.voile.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/20180313-DSC01811-300x175.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.voile.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/20180313-DSC01811-768x447.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.voile.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/20180313-DSC01811-1024x596.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.voile.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/20180313-DSC01811-100x58.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.voile.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/20180313-DSC01811-1064x620.jpg 1064w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-786\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Always fun running into people in the mountains: my colleague, friend and now business partner Joe Stock &#8211; guiding in Alaska<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Joe Stock and I, along with Elliot Gaddy have started <a href=\"https:\/\/alaskaguidecollective.com\/\" target=\"blank\">Alaska Guide Collective<\/a>.\u00a0This past season was our first year of operation after 1.5 years of set up.

His drive for wild places brought him to Alaska in 2007 and he never left. As an AMGA Certified Ski Guide, Nick teaches avalanche courses, guides backcountry skiing and ski mountaineering trips all over Alaska's great mountain ranges. His career has become his lifestyle and he wouldn't have it any other way. When not working, Nick is taking his enthusiasm deeper into the hills and rivers on personal trips.
