At home amongst glaciers, and wild places, you would never guess that Julie Ann grew up in the heart of Atlanta, Georgia. In 2011, she found a deep passion for rock climbing and followed it to the mountains of North Carolina, Washington, and Alaska, where her curiosity to explore bigger mountains took hold of her dreams and imagination.

In the decade that followed, Julie Ann immersed herself in the professional worlds of glacier & alpine rock guiding, ski instructing and patrolling, instructing avalanche courses, and eventually ski guiding. She has lived and played in Boone, Bozeman, Haines, and Ashford, and now calls Bellingham, Washington home.

As a guide, she embodies an attitude of curiosity, wonder, and reverence in wild places. Julie Ann is dedicated to creating inclusive spaces within outdoor adventure, that not only evoke feelings of radical acceptance, but also allow for attention to be given to the deeper layers of one’s experience.
