As we lap our way from Michigan City to Silver Fork to Days Fork, Gus’s passion for the mountains permeates his soft-spoken words. He has an indelible grin that comes from years spent in the sun, snow and water, and sharing those places with others. We drop into Emma’s Ridge and his turns are tight but effortless and smooth. “The ocean is dynamic whereas the mountain is static,” he says. “But otherwise, the mountain is just a big wave and you can be creative with it.”
