Artist: Chris Christie

Chris Christie is a professional firefighter/first responder and freelance photographer based in Squamish, British Columbia. His photo journey has taken him to many corners of the world, but he still considers the Sea to Sky zone his all-time favorite. The distinct four seasons give incredible photo opportunities in all alpine pursuits, and the backcountry access makes it easy to get off the grid. His ski journey has taken him throughout B.C., from surf/ski expeditions on the central coast to an attempt on the highest peak in Canada. If he’s not on a commercial shoot, Chris has a tireless “run and gun” style to keep a natural flow to the daily adventures. He is thankful to all those who keep the fire stoked in capturing moments behind the lens.

Support education and mentoring for all backcountry riders

We have a favor to ask of our backcountry community. Powder Cloud believes our educational content and journalism should be easily accessible to all backcountry riders. A majority of our content is free, and we strive to limit annoying distractions like blinking ads, paywalls and pop-up screens.

We need your support to sustain the work we and our contributors provide, and to help us develop new and exciting ways to educate our community.

With as little as $5, you can help our mission—to provide backcountry skiers and riders the mentorship they require to travel safely and find the happiness. It only takes a minute and we’re so grateful and appreciate you.
