Aidan Whitelaw

With RMI

About

Growing up in Bend, Oregon, Aidan was raised on a diet of mountain adventures around the volcanoes of the PNW. In 2022, he moved to Bozeman, MT, to attend Montana State University, where he’s likely to be found either in the library or Hyalite Canyon — not necessarily in that order. From skiing to climbing, Aidan enjoys all aspects of moving through the mountains.
