He is currently a senior guide for Shasta Mountain Guides in Northern California and a guide on Mt. Rainier for Alpine Ascents International. Logan is a Wilderness EMT and holds level 3 avalanche certifications from the American Institute for Avalanche Research and Education (AIARE).

Chris Noyes

Chris began patrolling at Solitude in 2006, after two seasons on the Park City Ski Patrol. In summer he works as a backcountry river ranger in the Alaskan wilderness, splitting his time between fishing for salmon and dodging grizzly bears.
Jared Hynes
Jared was born and raised skiing in the Wasatch and is a senior member of the Solitude ski patrol. An avid ski mountaineer, he's spent five seasons exploring the French Alps around La Grave. Ski guiding has taken him around the world from snowcat skiing in the Chilean Andes to guiding heli-skiing in the Chugach Range of Alaska. When not guiding, Jared can be found chasing trout with his fly rod.
Adam Teel
Adam learned to ski as a kid here in the Wasatch, and has been focusing on backcountry skiing for the last 10 years. Adam began working at solitude in 2005, and has been a wilderness EMT for five years.

Along with all of his adventures, Adam is also an avid skydiver.
