Wyatt is an adventure photographer, writer, and creative who’s built his life around movement, meaning, and the magic of being outside. He picked up snowboarding at fifteen and swore he’d never ski…until he married a skier. Now he finds himself clicking into both, because at the end of the day, winter is to be experienced regardless of the gear under your feet.
From running seven peaks in three days to living on the road with his wife and little kids, Wyatt’s life is stitched together by stories found off the beaten path. His work spans image and word, always rooted in the same ethos: tell the truth, chase the feeling, and leave the place better than you found it.
As a Ski Utah contributor, Wyatt brings an eye for the untold stories. He writes to make you feel something, and just maybe get you to want to step outside and find your own story.
