This is an eight-year-old photo of Jeff Galbraith. Chris Brunkhart was supposed to send us one of the hundreds of photos he has of Jeff standing around but he hasn't. Until he does this will have to do.Jeff Galbraith was raised in Snohomish County and attended Cascade High School, alma mater of Patrick Duffy. Throughout childhood Jeff was able to break ski patrol regulations without regard as his grandfather was a partner and manager of Alpental Ski Area. He was a stand-out wrestler, lettering four years while developing several eating disorders. Attending college at Western Washington University in Bellingham, WA and earning a B.A. in Communications, he interned at TransWorld Snowboarding. After graduation, he worked alternately on road crews and ski shops before becoming Field Editor for the late, great International Snowboard Magazine. A new career as a tent-setter for an exposition company followed, before a Senior Editorship for Snowboarder Magazine. Eventually relenting and moving to Bro-Cali, Jeff ascended to Managing Editor for several seasons before freaking out, buying a four-wheel drive pickup and moving to Idaho. Now, back in his role as Senior Editor, he splits his residency between Ketchum and Mt. Baker, fly-fishing a great deal, snowboarding, and working very slowly on a novel while lying profusely about his golf game.

He enjoys reading the stories and essays of William Kitteredge, while listening to the Melvins as C-Span glows on the television.
