about:

Cheers! I’m Torin Alm, and this four-legged legend by my side is Ryder, my adventure partner, trail scout, and loyal Australian Shepherd. We spend most of our time outside, chasing snow in the winter and rising trout in the summer. Ryder’s always right there, charging up the skin track or wading in the river with me. When I’m not outside, I work full-time as a creative director, so capturing those little moments is both my job and my passion. Usually, you’ll find me with a camera in one hand and a Payette beer in the other. We’re always up for a new adventure, and our “thumbs up or paws up” attitude keeps things fun no matter where we end up.

favorite outdoor activities:

Snowboarding, fly fishing, paddleboarding, and mountain biking

favorite adventure:

Splitboarding into the backcountry with Ryder in untouched snow.

if you could be an animal, what would you be:
