Northeast Mountaineering Guides

Corey found his love for mountains at the young age of 8 when he first scaled Mt. Adams in New Hampshire. In 2005, he visited Mt Rainier for the first time and decided to climb it in 2006. He has gone on to climb and guide it over a dozen times and has since added climbs and ski descents in Alaska, the western US, South America, Asia and Iceland. He attended photography school in 2006, which has only compounded his love for the outdoors and high places. When he is not in the mountains, you can find him on his farm in Western Maine with his wife, daughter and 2 dogs.

Matt started mountaineering while studying geology at University of Maine, Farmington. After a summer of fieldwork in the Cascades of Washington State, he relocated to New Hampshire to begin his tenure as Harvard Cabin Caretaker in Huntington Ravine. This move nurtured a love for Mount Washington and the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Matt’s happiest while climbing, skiing, and exploring the lesser visited mountains and crags of New Hampshire and Maine with family and friends – old and new.

Coby Jacobus was on skis at 3, hockey skates at 4 and adamant at 5 that he preferred an adventure vacation over Disney World. He began alpine skiing in Vermont but transitioned to back country skiing to enjoy the solitude, challenge and untracked powder. He ran Division I cross-country and track at UNH and began enjoying the mountain year round upon graduation. His enthusiasm for the mountains is infectious. Coby enjoys big days in the backcountry, whether it’s linking several ravines in a single day on alpine touring skis, long mountain trail runs or multi pitch rock climbs. Nothing gives him more pleasure though than having his dog Miss Gracie enjoy these experiences with him.

Sam has spent most of his life in the mountains. Born into a family of avid skiers and outdoor athletes, he got my first taste of the mountains at the age of four, skiing with my family in the Green Mountains of Vermont. Growing up Sam learned how to ski, rock climb, mountaineer and whitewater kayak. After high school he headed West to study Snow Science at Montana State University. His time spent MSU led him to pursue skiing and guiding as a profession. Sam spent the next several years in Utah skiing full time. He has since taken on many guide training courses and certifications and now works as a Senior Guide at Northeast Mountaineering.
