Dan O'Callahan

Dan O’Callahan was born with skis strapped to his feet. Some say his first steps were on black diamond runs, while others swear he used the nursery slopes as his personal warm-up zone. A self-proclaimed “Lord of the Slopes,” Dan has seen it all—from the days of neon one-piece ski suits to today’s high-tech, breathable gear (though he still insists the 80s were the peak of skiing fashion). With 20 years of experience under his belt, Dan’s not just a skier—he’s a living legend, or at least that’s what he tells anyone who’ll listen at après-ski.

When Dan isn’t busy tearing up the mountain, he’s perfecting the art of après-ski lounging, where he holds the unofficial world record for the longest time spent in a hot tub with a cold beer in hand. His blog posts are equal parts snow report and life philosophy, with gems like, “Why drive to work when you can ski?” and “No slope is too steep if you’re going fast enough.” Dan’s your go-to guy for serious snow expertise wrapped in a healthy dose of mountain-sized ego and humor.
