Jonny Baird

Jonny's passion for the mountains started where he grew up - the West Coast of Scotland - and probably about the same time too! His youth was spent rock climbing in Glen Coe and Glen Nevis and also on the great ice climbs of Ben Nevis. His love for alpinism and skiing has taken him to the European Alps and onwards and upwards to adventures in the Tien Shan, Peruvian Andes, Greenland, Canadian Rockies, New Zealand and Australia.

Jonny is keen to share his passion for snow with you, and to make it fun. He's a firm believer that a day of Avalanche Training should include studying some powder - at speed !

When he's not working he will be skiing, away climbing one of the icy north faces of the alps or most likely enjoying sport climbing in a sunny spot with friends in one of the many superb venues in the area. Jonny is also a member of ANENA (French Association for the Study of Snow and Avalanches).
