I’ve continued to guide for TMBT for 6 years because I have a fun time doing it! In the winter months I work ski patrol, but also like to take trips to Switzerland. My favorite food is beer (!!) and I have a few favorite trails here in the Tetons region, but if I told you where they were . . . I’d have to kill you.

Sharing my passion for mountain biking and the region is why I’ve guided for TMBT for 8 years. In my spare time I enjoy biking, hiking, fishing, and traveling the world. My favorite place is Holland and I love eating pizza! In the winter, I’m a snowboard instructor at the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort – but in the summer months, I dig biking the North Fork of Game Creek.

This is my second year guiding with TMBT and I love being active everyday. Biking is one of my favorite things to do, so I make sure I get out and do “Henry’s Road” a lot! My southern roots stick with me in Jackson, as my favorite food continues to be crawfish etoufee. In the winter months, I enjoy sitting by the fire and listening to Zydeco.
Dan Durkin
Getting paid to ride my bike was only a dream when I lived in New York City for ten years! I really do enjoy turning people on to the beauty of Jackson Hole while riding a bike. I’ve been guiding with TMBT for 3 years, and love riding the singletrack at Snow King – it’s world class! In the winter I work at the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort and make sure I ski everyday, loading up on my favorite foods — steak and french fries. I travel in the off-season too, but the best place I’ve seen was Italy . . . what great cycling!
Jake Urban
I been guiding for Teton Mountain Bike Tours for three seasons. I have been climbing, biking and skiing in the Tetons for the past 12 years. Since moving to the valley, I teach outdoor education at Central Wyoming College and continue teaching at Lyndon State College facilitating expeditionary studies. Additionally, I am an avalanche instructor, which gives me a good excuse to ski 100 days a year in the backcountry. Hope to see you out on the trail!
