The Guides

All of our guides are professional certified ski guides and belong to ACMG (Association of Canadian Mountain Guides) or CSGA (Canadian Ski Guide Association), and CAA (Canadian Avalanche Association). They are committed to safety in the mountains, finding great ski lines and best snow possible. 

These guys love to ski and want to make your ski adventure super fun and interesting on and off the slopes.

Barb first strapped on cross-country skis at age 2 and was a member of Canada's national biathlon team for several years.
She was introduced to backcountry skiing in her late teenage years in the McGregor mountains, never thinking
that she would one day be a guide in this area. During the summer, Barb works for Jasper National Park in the
wildlife management  program and is a member of the mountain resuce team.
