Eric Layton

​Eric’s love for the mountains and his passion for backcountry splitboarding is infectious!! Originally from Lake Tahoe, Eric now spends his winters in Revelstoke, searching for the best powder on earth. Guiding professionally since 2007, his passion and expertise for mountaineering and backcountry splitboarding has led him to work as a guide for operations throughout the world. Having guided over twelve heli seasons in Alaska and the past nine Winters working the mechanized aspect in British Columbia, this guy loves snow!!

​In 2015 he was among the first snowboarders in the United States to pass the American Mountain Guide Association ski exam on his splitboard and is currently working through his AMGA alpine certification. An avid rock and alpine climber, Eric is a year round guide working in the Cascades and the Sierra during the Summer and Fall months. He is the owner and lead guide at Splitboard Guides International a human powered guide service operating throughout the Sierra Range and select destinations around the world.

​We are happy to have Eric on the TriplePoints Expeditions team as the guiding operations manager.

​Eric is proud to share turns all over the world with people who share the same passion. When not in the mountains, time is spent with his wife and kids exploring nature and the wonders of life. Check out: www.splitboardguidesinternational.com to follow Eric's adventures.
