Dave Van Ham

JACKSON HOLE, WY, USA

Dave spends the majority of his year in Jackson, Wyoming where he can often be found adventuring with his favorite partner Revvy dog. He works in the early winter months as a ski guide for Jackson Hole Mountain Guides and migrates to Alaska for late season ski guiding. He began his Alaska ski guiding career working with Alaska Rendevous where he wore several hats, from dishwasher, to chef, to ground crew to ski guide. If you need something done at a heli ski operation, Dave is a key member to have around. He is an incredible guide on the mountain and equally as impressive in the kitchen. When Dave isn't guiding he works as a Private Chef in his hometown and is always up for adventure. Dave has an infectious smile, an innate ability to read mountains and weather, and is truly a remarkable guide, we are stoked to have him on our team.
