About Patrick

Off-Piste Ski & Pedal is built around small, personal days in the mountains — private bike rides in Park City, the Wasatch, Heber Valley, and select permitted Uinta National Forest routes, with winter heli-ski trips guided through trusted partner programs. I keep the process simple: listen first, understand the group, and shape the day around the people, conditions, timing, and terrain.

How I Work

I keep things intentionally small and personal. Most rides and trip plans are private or very small-group, which means we can adjust around conditions, energy, timing, and what feels right that day.

Rather than offering a long list of fixed packages, I focus on:

  • Listening first — your timeline, goals, comfort level, and riding or skiing background

  • Shaping the day around conditions — weather, trail status, access, group energy, and season

  • Connecting you with the right experience — whether that’s a mellow gravel loop, a classic Park City singletrack ride, a bigger Uinta National Forest day, or a heli-ski opportunity through a trusted operator

Guiding Experience Across Seasons

I started skiing and biking in New England before years in the mountains led me west. I earned a B.S. in Ski Resort Management and Recreation Resource Management, along with continued training in snow, weather, avalanche safety, ski guiding, and helicopter operations.

Since then, I’ve spent more than 25 years skiing and biking throughout Wyoming, Utah, Alaska, and South America. Professionally, my guiding work has included more than 15 years in those same mountain regions, with a focus on small groups, changing conditions, route selection, and real-time decision making.

Today, Off-Piste Ski & Pedal is focused primarily on private bike guiding — mountain bike, gravel, and all-road rides shaped around Park City, the Wasatch, Heber Valley, and select permitted Uinta National Forest routes. In winter, that same guiding background helps guests connect with trusted heli-ski, backcountry, and avalanche education opportunities through established operators.

A Personal, Conditions-Based Approach

Good days outside come from matching the plan to the people, the place, and the conditions. Some groups want a smooth scenic ride, some want a bigger fitness day, and others want help making sense of unfamiliar terrain.

I keep the process simple: listen first, shape the plan around the day, and leave enough room to adjust once we’re out there.
