Guides – Our experienced and knowledgeable guides know this country and want nothing more than to share its richness and beauty with you. All Guides are professionally trained; CPR, First Aid and Avalanche certified; share their knowledge of the area; and provide snowmobile operation and safety instructions prior to each tour. 

MICHAEL TRUMBOWER - Michael’s father Earl taught him the joys of nature as a young boy. Growing up he and his brothers spent their free time fishing, hunting, and observing wild places and wildlife. Although he graduated with a degree from Colgate University, his passion for wild places drove him west where he landed a job as camp cook at a hunting camp in the Teton Wilderness. For the last 27 years Mike has been working hunting camps during the fall. The past 25 years he's been a guide leading hunters through timber, and atop mountains looking for the elusive bull elk. Mike drove a horse team on the National Elk Refuge for 14 years; fed and calved cows at a local ranch for more than a dozen years; is an active volunteer firefighter in his 20^th year; and now looks to his 12^th year of guiding snowmobiles this winter. Mike is a veteran guide on all trips cooking a perfect steak lunch at Granite Hot Springs, playing in the powder at Togwotee, and leading an educational trip into Yellowstone, he does it all and does it well.

MARK WELLARD - Born just a ways away in Idaho and having lived in the Jackson Hole area for 22 years, I know how to make the most of the great outdoors. With over 12 years experience guiding fly-fishing trips on the river, back-country hunting camps, and snowmobiling all over, I know this country like the back of my hand. Come on out and let me show you some of the 'good life' out here in the Rockies.

SCOTT LAMBERG – Hello my name is Scott. Ever since I was knee high to a grasshopper I have moved every two to three years and lived all around the world. I've experienced first hand things that most people have only read about. I moved to Jackson 10 years ago to snowboard (not knowing what I was in for), and since then have had amazing adventures which have drawn me into the allure of the Jackson Hole lifestyle both past and present. Since being in the valley I have experienced many things that most people only watch on the hunting channels and see in snowmobile videos. My passions are snow machining, hunting, and building and driving demolition derby cars. Let me share my knowledge and experience of the Jackson area and some western hospitality. I hope to see you soon!
