Will Ambler
Will grew up in the mountains of western North Carolina where he learned to love the outdoors through his ardent parents who brought him skiing, hiking, kayaking, camping and mountain biking. The enjoyment he found in skiing drove him further west to Salt Lake City where he studied Parks, Recreation and Tourism with an emphasis in outdoor recreation studies at the University of Utah. It was during college that Will got into rock climbing, backcountry skiing and mountaineering. In the winter Will works as a guide, outdoor educator and ski instructor in Salt Lake City. When he isn’t working you can find him riding his bike, walking, or learning to play the banjo.
