Conor Hurley
About
From Tuckerman’s Ravine, Conor’s first ski touring experience, to Baffin Island, Kyrgyzstan, Chile, Argentina, Norway, Rogers Pass, the Canadian Rockies, BC’s Coast Mountains and the Valhallas, Conor has chased the unturned turn. His guiding career started in 2014 as an ACMG Apprentice Rock Guide. Over the years, he has gained knowledge both from the mountains and mentors. He has pursued education too, from the Canadian Avalanche Association, who certified him as a Level 2 Avalanche Forecaster, and the Association of Canadian Mountain Guides, who certified him as a Ski Guide and the University of New Hampshire where he received a Bachelor’s Degree in French. If you come skiing with Arctos, he hopes to share some of that knowledge with you.
