About the Author
Bryan was born in Bozeman, MT. Son of a Forest Ranger and English Teacher - Growing up he was always curious about what may be lurking around the next switchback, mountain pass or pitch.
Bryan learned to ski on trails his dad build in the Pioneers near Dillon. As an adult he trains with the Bridger Ski Foundation Master Skiers Training Group and hopes to "participate" in more AXCS Masters World Cup Events.

"Part of being an artist is being relevant, and I don’t want to just work in my own little artist silo and not have it affect anybody. I really want this to affect people. I really want people to feel empowered and part of the community. "

"Taking a nuanced approach, Schaeffer includes QR codes throughout the book that link to interactive content such as video interviews, Topographic Maps and animated illustrations.
