Description

When it comes to skiing in Canada, the first place most people think of is Whistler. It would be difficult to argue with the assumption because the Whistler area, specifically the Whistler Blackcomb resort area, offers some truly spectacular skiing opportunities.

On this trip, I will be leading you along several different sidecountry routes. This will give you the chance to see a large portion of the Whistler Blackcomb area. And believe me when I tell you, the area is as beautiful as it is exciting, which is probably why it has hosted so many great events, including several events in the 2010 Winter Olympics.

With great size comes great variety. You will get to choose from a long list of different spots: from long traverses like the Spearhead traverse and the Mcbride traverse to some classic descents like DOA and Husume. And if you’re into steeps, you’ll also find your money’s worth at Whistler.

Not many places can actually live up to their lofty reputations. But Whistler does! If you want to experience it for yourself, just send me a request. I will be happy to guide you.

Mountain Guide

I grew up out in Eastern Canada ripping around the small mountains of Quebec and New England. After spending years ski racing and eventually freestyle skiing, I made the pilgrimage out to BC in 2006 and never looked back. My love for the mountains and backcountry grew and sharing this love became my main priority.

My guiding career began in 2010 and I am a fully certified Ski Guide under the Association of Canadian Mountain Guides (ACMG). I am also a professional member of the Canadian Avalanche Association (CAA). Come explore the mountains of British Columbia with me!

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
