2025-2026 Ski/Ice/Mixed/Trad partners

[Declan Knies]

Howdy friends, I'm moving to Vancouver from Colorado for grad school this year and I need a crew! I am very skilled in ski mountaineering and just okay at ice, mixed, and trad. Usually I prefer to do those in order to get to a better ski line rather than from intrinsic motivation. I know it's early to be thinking about skiing but if you're also planning next year's routes I want to be your friend! I'll ski just about anything but I'm a bit of a snow snob (I like good snow on steep lines). I am very happy to discuss experience and expectations. My instagram is @declanknies if you wanna see what I've done or message me there.

DM me if you're stoked to get out! Would love to make some friends to be ready for the first snowfalls... I tried to attach some pictures from the year not sure if they'll show up!
