2022

A tireless supporter of the Club, Rick Hunt has played a key role in taking JHSC into the future. Rick led the Jackson Hole High School team in points his senior year before heading to Bozeman for college, where he worked as a ski instructor and also took his ski career in the new directions of mountaineering and cinematography: linking his rock-climbing and skiing abilities, he completed several first descents in the Bridger Mountains. In 1992, Rick departed for Alaska, and, with several others, made numerous first descents that Rick filmed. When he returned to Jackson, Rick continued his mountaineering and racing careers, participating in USSA Masters racing and the annual JHSC Town Downhill. As a freelance cinematographer, Rick has worked from Alaska to Antarctica with a range of organizations, including TGR, Warren Miller, and NBC as part of the Olympic Downhill crew. In 2009, he joined the JHSC Board of Directors, on which he served three 3-year terms, and he was a key contributor to the Building Our Base Campaign. (Photo credit: Jonathan Selkowitz)
