Jeff Easter | Global Guide

Jeff Easter has an infectiously energetic, positive, go-getter attitude. His passion for the au
outdoors grew out of a love for exploration, adventure, and adrenaline. Born in Philadelphia
and raised in Delaware, his love for skiing came from family trips to Park City, UT. A minor injury on the slopes as a kid introduced Jeff to the idea of becoming a ski patroller, and years later he found himself moving cross-country to become a part of the Park City Mountain Resort patrol team. During Jeff’s seven seasons on ski patrol, he quickly worked his way up the ranks to Team Leader and was a route leader for avalanche mitigation / control. He used these skills and his experience to safely navigate and explore the Wasatch Backcountry on his days off. His summers were spent exploring and working various outdoor jobs both locally and around the world. One of these jobs found him in Oahu, Hawaii, where he put his lifeguarding and EMT skills to use as a SCUBA guide on a dive boat. Other summertime adventures include exploring Spain, Portugal, Mexico, and the US, with as much camping, mountain biking, and surfing as possible along the way.

The ski patrol world opened doors to new opportunities when Jeff was offered a job as a guide for White Room Tours, an Australian based ski-tour company. In 2015, after two seasons of guiding in Japan, he crossed paths with Jeff Robertson and joined the Le Grand Adventure Tours team. He has since guided with LGA extensively in Japan, both on the northern island of Hokkaido and the main island Honshu. He has also guided throughout the Jungfrau region, Mürren, Andermatt, and Engelberg.
