Bill Blair

began his ski industry career as a ski patroller at Copper Mountain, eventually becoming an avalanche forecaster. Over the years, he has taken on various roles at both Copper Mountain and Snowbird, working on the mountain and in finance. His passion for skiing and mountain exploration naturally led him to a career in snow safety, where he could apply his knowledge both professionally and in his own backcountry adventures. A defining moment in his career was the loss of a friend in a backcountry avalanche, an experience that shaped his perspective on avalanche safety. In the summer, he enjoys biking, hiking, and rafting with his family—staying active and outdoors as much as possible. A recent favorite show is Only Murders in the Building.
