In this episode, guest host Sean ZImmerman Wall sits down with Hector Silva Peralta. Hector is an ACMG Apprentice Ski guide based in Chile, living the endless winter between Chile, Canada and Alaska. Héctor grew up in the mountains , close to portillo ski resort, where he started skiing at a very young age. His longtime commitment to the heli-ski, backcountry skiing, and avalanche industries has given him the opportunity to spend the last 6 years training in professional environments and continuing his professional development through mentorship initiatives in both British Columbia and Alaska. One of his primary focuses is further developing the avalanche and ski industry in Chile following the Canadian and US industry's best practices. Alongside other avalanche professionals in Chile, he is working to create a non-profit organization called Chile Avalanchas, that is aiming to save lives through avalanche education. Chile Avalanchas' ultimate mission is to facilitate avalanche education to the general public as well as build a platform for information exchange amongst recreational backcountry users and professionals in the Andes Range. Hector is also a professional member of the Canadian Avalanche Association and professional member of the American Avalanche Association.
