Jon Hood – Guide

Originally from Indiana, I have been in Colorado 33 years. I am a long-time skier, hiker, and high school cross country coach now in retirement. In 2002 I answered an ad that led me on a journey with Foresight. My first on-mountain experience was with Senior Guide, Mark Masto and I was pretty sure guiding would be for me though I never thought I could do it as well as Mark does. A lot of satisfaction and pride comes with being accepted onto the guide team, which is a bunch of world class talent who keep on giving and live engaged, interesting and productive lives. Foresight Ski Guides has truly changed my life when I consider the 100+ great days I’ve had helping VIPs navigate Vail safely while still having a lot of fun. Mark Davis built a program that keeps giving, week after week, to countless VIPs each with a unique story but all with hero in their middle name. My wife, Destyn, and I live in Stapleton. We have two boys in their 20’s, and we are all Colorado by now. My goal is to guide 10 or more days a year until my knees give out.
