Dan has been widely recognized as a backcountry snowmobiler, with appearances in multiple films and magazines over the years. He is actively involved with several clubs as a volunteer and fundraiser, including the Utah Snowmobile Association. Dan has also worked to improve avalanche forecasting and education resources available to snowmobilers through his roles with the Utah Avalanche Center, where he served on the board of directors from 2010 to 2018. Although perhaps known for some of his technical lines and cliff drops, his true passions in the sport are the endless opportunities for exploration and the tight-knit snowmobile community. He spends as much of his free time in the mountains as possible, both on and off the snow. When the snow melts Dan can be found mountain biking, fly fishing, running long distances, or backpacking.
