    About Eric

    I’m Eric Heiman, a backcountry ski guide and avalanche educator, but more so, just another person trying to live a fulfilling life connecting with others in the modern version of our mountain towns. I was brought into this world on the East Coast, and got hooked on the backcountry up on Mt. Washington, NH. Yet, despite still having a soft spot for New England to this day, I joined the ranks of ski the east ex-pats and found more snow and bigger mountains out West.
