From: Colorado and now in Salt Lake City, Utah
Professional: In the summer I am a Lead instructor for the Montana Wilderness School leading extended backcountry wilderness expedition for High School aged youth focusing on leadership and personal development skills. In the Winter I am a Professional Ski Patroller at Canyons Ski Resort in Park City. Along with those I have my Wilderness First Responder (WFR) and my Outdoor Emergency Care (OEC) certifications. I have a bachelor's degree in Adventure and Outdoor Programming from the University of Utah.
Canyoning: Started Canyoning in 2021 and progressed through all 3 of the courses provided by the University of Utah. Since then I have been canyoning both as a mentor and in my personal time. My favorite part of canyoning is working through problems with my team.
Favorite Canyon: Neon canyon in Escalante. The long hike through the desert paired with the various challenges of the canyon being a smile to my fac

My name is Tori and I love the way canyoning takes you to unique places and spectacular views.

From: Utah!

Professional: I work as an accountant at a local trucking company. I do nails on the side and I'm a UVU alumni with a Bachelor's Degree in Accounting and as Associate's Degree in Graphic Design. You could say I split my time between analysis and creativity. 

Outdoor Fun & Quals: I grew up camping, dirt biking, and river rafting with my family, so I learned adventure at a young age. I got into canyoning as an adult and have since been working on getting certified through the Canyoning Institute.

Canyoning: First time was 2017 and I was hooked. But I didn't know where to go from there until 2020 when I found Canyoning Chicks. Since then, being in canyons with good people and learning new skills has become a great joy of mine! 

Favorite Canyon: Cassidy Arch in Capitol Reef!

Canyon Nemesis: Dirty swimmer potholes
