TREASURER - CRITTER MILTON
Critter’s early mountain exposure began in a backpack, exploring the White Mountains of New Hampshire with his family and beginning to carry his own basic survival gear from the time he could walk. Through the years, he gained exposure to the long history of calamity throughout that region. As a teenager, Critter was a member of the second ever Rocky Mountain Semester at the High Mountain Institute in Leadville, helping build the school during their first year. That unique experience living at 10,000 feet with no electricity in their cabins, stoking the fire and lighting lanterns, continued to shape his love for the outdoors. Achieving a masters degree during a decade-long career as a financial advisor in the Front Range, the mountains called him back to 10k ft in Alma. He began training with PCSAR in 2020 and is currently a Winter Alpine Team member, the Treasurer of the Board, and a mission Supervisor.TRAINING DIRECTOR - SETH DANNER
