Todd Passey
IFMGA AMGA Mountain Guide
Todd grew up in Utah’s Wasatch Mountains, where skiing moguls and exploring his local mountains laid the foundation for a lifelong career in the outdoors. Over the past two decades, that passion has taken him across all seven continents—leading skiing and climbing expeditions from Antarctica to Svalbard, the Himalayas, the Alaska Range, the Alps and beyond.
As an IFMGA/UIAGM-certified Mountain Guide with extensive global experience, Todd has pioneered routes on virgin Antarctic peaks, guided clients to the Seven Summits, the highest peaks on all seven continents, and built a reputation for sound judgment, technical mastery, and leading with clarity and confidence in demanding mountain environments.
What sets Todd apart is his focus on people. He believes mountain guiding is about more than objectives—it’s about building trust, supporting personal growth, and making the process as enjoyable as the goal. Whether he’s enjoying Wasatch powder turns with a new guest or leading a complex international expedition, he brings a positive attitude, clear communication, and a strong sense of camaraderie to every trip.
Today, Todd guides with Wasatch Mountain Guides and In The Company of Guides, where he continues to create rewarding, memorable experiences rooted in professionalism, fun, and genuine connection.
