Thanks for visiting. I'm glad you're interested in training; my name is Dane Brinkley.
For nearly two decades, I have worked in the mountains guiding hikers, climbers, and skiers. I'm lucky to have been able to work in the Cascades, Sierras, Rockies, and the Alaska Range.
Much of my guiding career centers on and around Mount Shasta (14,179'). I've worked for Shasta Mountain Guides, the leading guide service on the mountain, since 2005.
I'm also a certified personal trainer and strength & endurance coach. I've worked with recreational and professional athletes, including mountaineers, skiers, guides, rangers, and firefighters.
My time is spent training, coaching, guiding, ski-patrolling, and hanging with my little family. I spend most of the winter ski-guiding for Three Sisters Backcountry and ski patrolling at Hoodoo Ski Area in central Oregon.
I get the chance to work with quite a few climbers and skiers in the mountains, which continues to teach me about the needs of many mountain athletes.
When you're a Casaval athlete, you get more than just the guidance of a trainer. You get coaching that combines proven training methods, extensive mountain experience, and an understanding of athletes like you.
If you're committed to training for mountain-related goals, Casaval Personal Training has the tools to deliver the results you want.
