Alex Farrell
Her connection to the mountains runs just as deep. As a professional ski patroller in the Sierra Nevada’s, Alex specializes in avalanche forecasting, snowpack evaluation, rope rescue, and mountain safety. The years she’s spent studying Sierra snowpacks have given her profound respect for the raw, shifting forces that shape both land and sea. Not to mention, she also thoroughly enjoys throwing explosives for avalanche mitigation. And when not exploring with Lindblad expeditions or in the Sierra Nevada backcountry, Alex can be found teaching women-specific boating lessons on Lake Tahoe, empowering others to confidently navigate and enjoy life on the water. As a Field Naturalist with Lindblad Expeditions, Alex brings a combination of scientific expertise, technical skill, and a deep personal connection to the environments she explores. Whether leading a Zodiac tour up to calving glaciers or guiding a hike through temperate rainforest, she helps guests experience the beauty of wild places while also teaching others the responsibility we all share in protecting them.
