OUR GUIDES

Kent Vertrees
Master of Chaos

After graduating from Ohio State University with a degree in Fisheries Management, Kent decided to follow his passion for "living the good life" and became a guiding vagabond. Using Steamboat Springs as his home base, Kent spent several years pursuing his whitewater rafting, fly-fishing, snowmobiling and powdercat guiding dreams. Kent now has shifted his focus from guiding on a full time basis, to working as Steamboat Powdercats "Master of Chaos", where he oversees reservations, marketing and public relations, the website and lots of other goodies for the company.

Kent now has 2 little girls, Josephine and Sophie who are destined to become deep powder hounds and river rats.

Governor, the office dog, who you'll probably meet when you come to Steamboat Powdercats is Kent's dog - WOOF WOOF.

Kent's most defining moment: "Climbing those last few steps toward Baxter Peak on Mount Katahdin to conclude my 2,100 mile, Appalachian Trail "thru-hike" in 1992 (trail name "Wasitu".)
