Meridian Mountain Guides

Erin Laine grew up in the wide open farm country of southern Colorado, where grit and endless horizons shaped her love for free spaces and spicy food. Skiing grabbed her early—at five years old she was making her first turns at Wolf Creek, and by the time she was old enough to hold a blaster’s license, she was on ski patrol. In 2016, Erin took her first international guiding job in Chile, with just enough in the bank for a one way ticket south. Since then, the mountains have carried her across the globe, a gift she'll never take for granted. When not chasing snow, you’ll find her at home—baking bread, wandering the woods with her pup, or trying to keep up with her wild wildebeest nephews.
