Wasatch Guide

I know this topic is old but the info is necessary. Willie has been getting permits/CUA from the local USFS district via Wasatch Mountain Guides since 2017, where he is a co-owner. There are multiple guide operations here, so it's not singled to UMA and Red River. 

True. There are several operations in the Wasatch now with permits on the Salt Lake District, to include Willie/Wasatch Mountain Guides.

No idea if his schedule allows it, but I had a great guiding experience with Quino Gonzalez when I had an extra day in SLC a few years back. I think he works with Utah Mountain Adventures.

Quino was a friend and mentor of mine but he unfortunately he passed away in an avalanche this winter. Happy to point whoever in the right direction for guiding, dm me.

I'm very sorry to hear this news.  I hope his family is doing ok.  When I climbed with him he was so excited to get home for his kid's birthday party that evening, and it's sad to know he won't be around for all the birthdays yet to come.
