NIKWAX SNOW SQUAD

Brian Leahy

Snoqualmie

Washington

Brian is the coolest dad. Like for real. His toddler daughter is already a better snowboarder, skier, & biker than all of us.

Corey Nugent

Snoqualmie

Washington

Corey’s ski lines are smoother than Andre 3000’s wardrobe. He floats through the powder like a knife through melted butter.

Kurt Schachner

Snowshoe

West Virginia

Some have called him the next Warren Miller. Some have mistaken him for a former cast member of Duck Dynasty. To others…he’s simply Kurt.

Greg Nelson

Snoqualmie

Washington

The definition of chill, Greg is just as likely to be found petting puppies as he is to be pushing powder. Be like Greg. Be chill.

Lucas Holt

Snowshoe

West Virginia

Being born in the month of March, Lucas was always destined for greatness. He was also destined to love bike rides through the forest.

Kelsey Beverage

Snowshoe

West Virginia

There’s not an outdoor activity that Kelsey doesn’t like. She has effortless swag and probably has more whitewater rafting stories than you.

Ian Post

Mt. Baker

Washington

Often confused with Stephen Spielberg, Martin Scorcese, and Christopher Nolan, Ian’s films will surely dot your I’s and cross your T’s.

Reid Pitman

Crystal Mountain

Washington

Reid is the master of upping the stoke level and is a bonafide fun-chaser. It’s hard to have a bad day when this guy is around.

Engelbert Gal

Boston Mills & BW

Ohio

You probably know Engelbert. We mean that you might actually know him, for real. He might be the most socially connected ski-lover out there.

Jeff Ashton

RED Mountain

British Columbia

It’s a bird…It’s a plane…No! It’s Jeff doing some ridiculously-impossible aerials and looking like a complete boss while doing it.

Jason Albery

Northstar

California

Jason is a fun-chaser. Whether the beach or the slopes, he is going to bring the enthusiasm. And good luck beating him in Settlers of Catan.

Jes Albery

Northstar

California

If you can sign up for a snowboard lesson with Jes, do it. She is a borderline Jedi Master on the slopes and she loves sharing her passion.

Phil Forsey

Sunshine Village

Alberta

Don’t go look at Phil’s Instagram page. I repeat, do NOT go look at his page. If you do, you will instantly pack all your belongings and move to Alberta.

Catherine Malette

Whistler

British Columbia

Catherine holds the record for the fastest Snow Squad invitation acceptance, ever. She also just might save your life on the slopes. Respect.

Matthew Smith

Camp Fortune

Quebec

From Quebec to Iceland, Matthew mobs through life with a constant stream of wilderness medical rescues, bike excursions, and powder sessions.

Brooke Salgado

Mt. HOOD/MEADOWS

Oregon

Brooke might just the most bonafide Oregonian out there, so ask her for some insider tips when visiting Oregon. From the pow to the sand.

TJ Flaherty

WINDHAM MOUNTAIN

New York

As an adaptive ski instructor, TJ knows a thing or two about what it takes to stay dry and warm all day out in the snow. He's a living legend.

Sean MacMillan

MOUNT WASHINGTON

British Columbia

Sean has a deep love for his region and it is easy to see! He also knows his stuff when it comes to talking waterproofing and ski gear!

Denny Ives

Aspen Snowmass

Colorado

A true lover of nature, Denny is often found admiring his local wildlife neighbors, clearing trails, or teaching the next generation what real skiing is.

Mike Weiner

Park City

Utah

Mike lives in the giant playground known as Park City. He documents it all with his camera, making films that make all the jaws drop. All of them. 

Rita DeAngelis-Kockler

Big Sky

Montana

Rita is dedicated to helping those around her get the absolute most out of life. As a snowboard instructor and parent, she spreads her passion well.
