Demetri Zouboukos

Lead Ski, Rock & Alpine Guide
AMGA Ski Guide & Alpine Guide Training

Originally from the delta of Mississippi, Demetri is certainly not from the mountains, but has undoubtedly been shaped by them. It wasn’t until middle school when his family uprooted from Mississippi and moved to the desert peaks of New Mexico that Demetri saw and experienced the mountains for the first time. He’s been hooked ever since. 

After earning a bachelor’s degree and not knowing what to do with it... Demetri pointed his sights west towards Lake Tahoe and never looked back. For the last fifteen years Demetri has been lucky to call California and the Lake Tahoe basin his home. During this time Demetri has honed his skills climbing and skiing all over the American west and beyond. 

Throughout all of his trips and travels, climbing and skiing in beautiful places around the world, it has always been easy to come back to California. In his opinion, if you’re looking for the best skiing, rock climbing, alpine climbing, and ski mountaineering all in one place, it is really hard to beat California and the Sierra Nevada. Demetri guides skiing & winter mountaineering and teaches avalanche courses in Lake Tahoe the Eastern Sierra in the winter. In the summer he can be found guiding on Mount Shasta and in the Eastern Sierra.
