Born at the grand elevation of 239m above sea-level in the French quarter of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Stephen quickly found his love for skiing in ditches in the Canadian Prairies. In the early 2000's, a few annual family ski trips to the Canadian Rockies and BC Interior sealed the deal for his future; Stephen walked the stage at his high school convocation one day and sped West the next. Soon thereafter, studies at the University of Calgary exposed him to the earth sciences - specifically Geology. Hiking mountains and examining rocks is a profession? Sign him up!

Presently, there is no shortage of adventure to be had in the Canadian Rockies - independent of seasons. Weather conditions do play the most significant role in determining the objective, but you can be sure that Stephen is likely getting after it, whatever "it" may be, and likely documenting these adventures with a camera in hand.
