CELEBRATING 20 YEARS
OF GUIDING IN THE SEA TO SKY

I was brought into the CMG family last year and am now a repeat client. I would highly recommend this guiding outfit to anyone and everyone looking to go farther, higher and be safer in the mountains. I've taken a 3-day AST course, a 4-day mountaineering course and have hired CMG for back-country skiing day trips. The knowledge these guides have is unprecedented. 10/10

Took my AST1 course with Coast Mountain (Guillaume) up at Journeyman in 2014. Loved his style so much that we have hired him as a guide at least 3-4 times since then. Guillaume is always willing to share his knowledge of the mountains so that we are not just being guided but are also learning to be more skilled ourselves. As the weakest skier in my group, I also appreciate that Guillaume is very good at customizing a guided experience to ensure everyone gets challenged but no one goes too far outside of their comfort zone. Great storyteller and sense of humour as well. His fellow guide (JF Plouffe) is also a lot of fun to ski with, and great with kids.

I did the Heli Base Camp Touring trip this winter (Winter 2019/20) and it surpassed all my expectations! JF was our guide and he made this experience amazing. From the terrain we rode to the camping set-up to the food he prepared for us, this is truly a dream come true! Thank you Coast Mountain Guides for the epic adventure of a lifetime.

We had a fantastic time doing our AST 2 course with JF. He is a knowledgeable guide and funny too! If you're looking for a backcountry course, or a guided tour, I highly recommend JF. Good times guaranteed! Bonus because the snow was great!

We did the Crevasse Rescue course with Guillaume this past Sunday. Was an absolute blast. He is very personable, has a great wealth of knowledge, and made the course extremely educational, but also really fun. His knowledge of the local area is great, and really helped to begin to create trips and adventures utilizing the tools we learned. Great day in the mountains, great people, HIGHLY recommended.

Amazing experience with Coast Mountain Guides and guide JF Plouffe!! I was an Olympic freestyle skier and everyone in our group were very good skiers, with our AST-1, BUT we are all somewhat new to the Backcountry. We loved how the guide was giving us the right level of information and education along the way. Just for that it was worth the price. On a cold blue sky day without new snow for well over a week, JF was able to find us some great sections!! We felt safe, well informed and perfectly guided to the level of our ability, both up and down. Merci!!

Just participated in the Introduction to Mountaineering course, and it was a truly amazing program! Guillaume has over 20 years of experience and it shows. He provided valuable and concise information that was specifically tailored to the types of excursions that we hope to execute in the future. It was entertaining, fun, and extremely hands-on. I would highly recommend this course to anyone that's looking to take their exploring to the next level. It's a must-have experience for any adventurer, and worth every penny.

had the AST level 2 with them and enjoy the 4 days training very much. Instructor JF told us lots useful techniques for touring and highly recommended.

Generously sharing knowledge & experience! Thanks so much Guillaume!
