Jonny grew up on the West Coast of Scotland, where he quickly developed a passion for the mountains. Much of his youth was spent rock climbing in Glencoe and on the great ice climbs of Ben Nevis. His love for alpinism and skiing has taken him to the European Alps and onwards and upwards to adventures in the Tien Shan, Pervian Andes, Norway, Greenland, Canadian Rockies, New Zealand and Australia.
Jonny now lives just outside Chamonix, Mont-Blanc. Jonny is keen to share his passion and knowledge of the mountains with his clients, and to make it fun, whether it's skiing, ski mountaineering, rock climbing, alpine climbing or winter alpinism. You are sure to find him happy just by being in the mountains.
Jonny regularly works on our ski courses for the Eagle Ski Club. He has spent many weeks skiing in Arctic Norway and we are delighted that he can share his expertise of the area on our trips.
Jonny is a member of the British Mountain Guides and his profile can be found here: Jonathan Baird's profile on the British Mountain Guides website.
