Nick Armitage has dedicated 30 years to emergency services, working across wildland fire, mountain rescue, law enforcement, and emergency medicine.

​
With 20 years in search and rescue and 10 years in ski patrol and avalanche forecasting, Nick blends technical mountain expertise with a deep understanding of operational safety and human performance. An EMT since 2002 and Advanced Life Support (AEMT) provider since 2011, he has extensive experience delivering medical care in the front country and remote, high-stress environments.
