Marshall Dempster lives in Kamloops, B.C. with his wife and two kids. Though he enjoys the outdoors year-round, his passion is the winter mountains. Raised in central Alberta, he always knew he belonged in deep snow.

Over 26 years, he’s worked across the snow and avalanche world—ski patrol at Marmot Basin, Freeskiing World Tour competitor, avalanche forecaster, and rescue dog handler with his partner Bandit. He’s also supported search and rescue teams across B.C.

Eventually, Marshall found his purpose teaching and sharing his experience. Along the way, he developed a passion for snowmobiling and backcountry guiding, building strong skills as both an instructor and guide.
