YOUR COACHES

CLARK FYANS	GREG HARMS	JEREMY NOBIS
Clark Fyans serves as CPG's primary film support guide.  Clark has guided crews from Teton Gravity Research, Warren Miller, Dominique Perret, Burton, DC and more to help produce some of the most awe inspiring steep skiing footage found today.  Clark guides skiing year round, moving from Alaska to Chile and even Antarctica to follow the snow around the world. A regular summer guide on Mt. Denali, Clark recently led a crew including Chris Davenport, Adam Clark, Nick DeVore and others to a successful summit and multiple first descents in the black rock couloirs of Denali.  You couldn't possibly pick a better man to show you the ropes of steep skiing. CLARK'S BIO	Greg Harms is a man who gives you comfort in the knowledge that he's watching your back.  As a lead guide for CPG, you will often find Harms off with the private groups in remote terrain assuring that the guests are getting  the goods they came to find.  Greg has been a strong force in CPG's exploration of the million plus of acres of unexplored terrain in the Tordrillo Mountains.  Harms has a strong following with CPG guests, many of whom schedule their dates specifically to meet his avalability.  Greg spends his summer months guiding for the CPG Kings and Corn program before he heads off to his position as lead heliski guide in Portillo Chile. GREG'S BIO	Jeremy Nobis needs no introduction.  Arguably the best big mountain ski athlete in the world today, Nobis has changed the perception of what is possible in the mountains. Headlining films by Teton Gravity Research, Warren Miller and others, this former Olympian travels the world in search of the biggest steepest lines anywhere, but always ends up right here in Alaska to take things to the next level.  Nobis was part of the original brain trust that first thought up the now world famous Kings and Corn program.  As a partner in the Tordrillo Mountain Lodge, he has been a driving force in CPG's exploration of the Tordrillo Mountains and our terrain in the Chugach.  JEREMY'S BIO
