Christian

Christian is a Northern California native with lifelong family ties to Mount Shasta. His enthusiasm for California’s diverse landscapes and curiosity with natural processes led to degrees in Geography and Forestry, with an emphasis on climate and wildfire resilience. Christian’s passion for snow science and the winter backcountry inspired a move to Crested Butte last winter, where he worked as the Intern for the Crested Butte Avalanche Center. He has researched and written about the avalanche history of Mount Shasta and served as a caretaker at the Shasta Alpine Hut (Horse Camp). Christian looks forward to joining the MSAC team this winter and connecting with the community in the mountains.
