Ryan Ariano has been writing professionally for 20 years but he’s been snowboarding, traveling, and exploring much longer. His winters spent skiing Icelandic volcanoes, snowboarding the Japanese alps, and touring Teton high peaks have earned him a reputation for being tough on gear. In the summer, you can find him climbing routes above his pay grade, fishing the Golden Triangle, and running mountain trails. Somewhere in there he finds time to write about it.
