Sydney Paez Duncan


  • Ski Guide & Ski Patroller
  • Mt Shasta Guide
  • Guide across multiple disciplines including rafting, skiing, climbing

Sydney is a Colorado native, so naturally, she has been in love with skiing since she was 3-years-old.

At 18 she started her guiding career as a raft guide in the front range of the Rockies and became enamored with working in the outdoors.

For years she honed her backcountry skills skiing and climbing in France, Chile, Colorado, and Tahoe, and she is so happy to be able to share her love for human-powered adventures with others.

Sydney has worked at Squaw Valley on Ski Patrol for 4 seasons and guiding was a natural progression. Recently, she was accepted to the AMGA’s Ski Guide track. Once the skiing dries up in the summers, you can find Sydney guiding trips on Mount Shasta and working in the Tahoe basin.
