About the author

Born in Malta to a British family, the son of a Royal Navy officer, Alan Dennis never predicted he'd spend five decades working in the field of avalanche safety, much less being lured back to the snow after "retiring" at age 51. He primarily worked for organizations such as the Canadian Avalanche Association and Scottish Avalanche Information Service.

After finally giving up avalanches for good, Dennis took to the water aboard his boat, S/V Griffin, named in honour of his father's seafaring days.

Alan Dennis lives with his dog in Revelstoke, British Columbia. Snow Nomad: An Avalanche Memoir is his first and only book.
