Lisa Paulson

Lisa Paulson is an incredibly knowledgable mountain guide who is level-headed, considerate, and personable. She gave me the confidence to comfortably manage avalanche terrain, including everything from trip planning, to understanding the snow pack, to mitigating risk when out in the backcountry. Her approach is to allow her students to take leadership in the discussions, giving them space to think through scenarios. She is so well-connected in the mountain community, with many many years of knowledge in mountain rescue/avalanche forecasting. My favourite quality of Lisa is that she is extremely humble despite her immense amount of knowledge/experience in the backcountry.
