Steve Nichipor, Canopy Tour Director
Steve's love for the mountains has been an ever-present force throughout his life. He has been a professional guide for a number of years. Whether zipping through the trees, skiing Tuckerman Ravine or climbing on Cathedral Ledge, he always enjoys helping people have an unforgettable adventure. A backcountry skier, avid rock and ice climber, coffee roaster, builder, loving father and husband, culinary artist and wilderness emergency care provider - there isn't much that Steve is not ready and willing to undertake. As a Canopy Tour Director, Steve is a perfect match.

Jen Chardon, Canopy Tour Guide
Jen comes to Bretton Woods with a joyful sense of wonder for the out of doors. Her zest for life allows her sense of discovery to thrive, and her appreciation for the little things - the "pockets of magic" to be noticed. As Jen likes to say as she walks outside, "Step into my office." We couldn't be more fortunate than to have her guiding with us here at Bretton Woods.

Jamie Cunningham, Canopy Tour Guide
Adventurous spirit is a wonderful way to describe Jamie, and he brings the term to a new level. Whether it's climbing, mountaineering, guiding or photography, you will find that Jamie's interests are quite diverse. We are thrilled to have Jamie on staff.

Heather McKendry, Canopy Tour Guide
Heather brings a wide knowledge base to the Canopy Tour. With a background in outdoor education, and both feet firmly planted in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, it is perfect that she joins us here at the Canopy Tour. In her spare time, she is a gardener, cyclist, and motorcycle rider. We welcome her energy, sense of humor and flare for fashion.

Patrick McKerley, Canopy Tour Guide
Patrick came to Bretton Woods long before the rest of the team, primarily as a ski patroller in the winter months. It soon became evident that he was a willing and able "Patrick-of-all-trades." He is a natural teacher who seamlessly reaches out to all ages, abilities and walks of life. We know you are in capable hands with Patrick as a guide.

Neal Brodien, Canopy Tour Guide
Our walking nature encyclopedia, weather enthusiast and knowledgeable tour guide, Neal has made a flawless transition from ski patroller to guide. He brings us a wealth of outdoor experience and facts about every facet of our natural world. Take advantage; you have a treat in store as Neal guides you through the magical world which surrounds us, as we zip through the trees.

Paul Ingersoll, Canopy Tour Guide
Good natured and perfectly suited to guide our tours doesn't even begin to describe the wonder of Paul. He joined us straight off his snowboard, spending the winter both patrolling and guiding. Paul greets every adventure with a smile, whether leading a canopy tour, riding his motorcycle, or looking for turkeys in the woods with his eight year old son. As an incredible balance between hard working, capable and fun loving, Paul combined his diverse life experiences to come on board the Canopy Tour.

Todd Donahue, Canopy Tour Guide
Most of Todd's work has been in places where most people play. Whether working at ski areas out west, guiding snowmobile tours, or enjoying some kayaking or golf, Todd makes sure he has a good time. You'll definitely enjoy a Canopy Tour with Todd.

Mike Walker, Canopy Tour Guide
Mike is no stranger to heights, as he has spent many years building log homes with a family business in northern New Hampshire. On his free time he enjoys kayaking, gardening, and searching the woods for moose antlers.

Bobby Wisnouckas, Canopy Tour Guide
From hiking thousands of miles, to repairing cars, to getting big air on his snowboard, Bobby brings a wide range of talents and a tremendous amount of enthusiasm to leading Canopy Tours. You'll know from the moment you meet him that Bobby loves his job.

Kris Hennessey, Canopy Tour Guide
We welcome Kris' passion for outdoor activities and true appreciation for the art of conversation. She has given us a whole new perspective, as we share in her positive can-do attitude.

Doug Harman, Canopy Tour Guide
After spending many years working in the hectic world of emergency medicine in Connecticut, Doug is happy to enjoy a more relaxed pace living in the north country of New Hampshire. With several years working as a ski patroller and mountain bike patroller, Doug still appreciates - as much as ever - spending his days showing our guests a little bit of the good life.

Alexa Bernotavicz, Canopy Tour Guide
In addition to managing mountain operations at Bretton Woods, Alexa is a fun and talented guide. She brings a wealth of knowledge from geology to lift mechanics. Just don't ask her to guide a tour when the Patriots are playing - she probably has other plans.

Katy Kingston, Canopy Tour Guide
The magic of the Canopy Tour begins with Katy, as she is our capable reservations manager. Katy is also a fabulous tour guide and is often stolen from behind the desk, where she keeps the operations in balance. As much as possible, Katy loves getting outside to lead Canopy Tours, ski, and ride mountain and road bikes.

Lennie Fillius, Canopy Tour Guide
Lennie spent 23 years developing and operating adventure-based therapeutic programs in NJ. He came to us from the Bretton Woods Ski School, where he still teaches in the winter months, teaching alpine and telemark skiing. He enjoys motorcycle touring, kayaking, cycling, hiking, and of course, showing our guests a good time on the Canopy Tour.
