Sixteen years later he is still in awe of Montana's wilderness and mountains. An avid traveler, he has followed his skis to South America for two seasons, one winter in the Italian Alps with his wife Pam and all over British Columbia in search of powder and good stories. Mike has always been moved by words and people. He has put pen to paper for years, but mostly kept it to himself.
