ⓐ Chris Meder - Photographer and Mountain Guide.
Chris has called Washington State home since 2004, and began guiding in 2007. He loves sharing the experience of the mountains with others and feels lucky to be able to do so for a living.
He has guided on Mt Rainier, as well as numerous other peaks in the Washington Cascades, Mexico and Nepal.
When not guiding, he spends time exploring the Cascades on backcountry skis and climbing trips. Climbing and skiing have also taken him to most of the western U.S., Canada, France, New Zealand, and Thailand. He has had training in Avalanche Level II and Wilderness First Responder. Chris also holds an engineering degree that gets used intermittently.

Chris's motivation is second to none. Quick to study and create, Chris's training as an engineer and mountain guide has given him the perfect sets tools to become a great photographer. He is a technician and explorer with deep understanding of humanity and sense of place. The Kalākora Gallery is proud to produce his prints and support his endeavors.
