I’m in Iceland this week, skiing at Deplar Farm and being guided by AMGA-certified guide, Ian Havlick. So in between our time skiing, we sat down to talk about Ian’s path to becoming a professional guide; the misperceptions about the profession; recommendations for how to get into guiding; we try to clear up the confusion around tipping; and more.
