ABOUT JEAN
Jean Pavillard, born and raised in Switzerland, was trained as mountain guide and ski instructor in the
Alpine tradition. In 1984 Jean and his family moved to Crested Butte, Colorado.
He is CEO of his company Adventures to the Edge and the president of the American Institute of
Avalanche Research and Education.
Over the 24 years that Jean has dedicated himself to the profession of guiding he has worked
with many master guides, schools and associations: The International School of Mountaineering in Leysin,
The Ecole Suisse d'alpinism, and the Leysin, Telluride and Crested Butte Ski Schools. He had served as
director of the Crested Butte Ski School for 5 years when he decided to run Adventures to the Edge - an
international mountain guide service as a full time business. Jean has worked as the Technical Director
for the American Mountain Guide Association and has collaborated with the British and Ecuadorian Mountain
Guides Associations working as an examiner for their certification programs.
Jean is most fortunate that his work is his passion as well. He thrives in his job as a guide and
ski instructor, designing tours all over the world for individuals, families and groups. Custom designing
tours is not only his specialty but it is what Jean likes to do most: To establish a rapport with his clients
and then together build the perfect tour taking into consideration the people, and their goals. Enjoying the
adventure with his guests is the icing on the cake.
With his years of experience and connections Jean has developed a
network of professional mountain guides and ski instructors around the globe that are similarly
dedicated to providing the best mountain experience possible.
