The backcountry can throw a lot of things at you, and you want a guide that brings experience with humour when dealing with the unknown. Guillaume can navigate you safely through a white out, rattle off 10 different types of snowflakes, and sabre a champagne bottle with his ski...all the important things in life!
We have skied with Guillaume and his team for more than 10 years. In that time Coast Mountain Guides has introduced us to some of the best back country ski terrain in the world…right in Whistler’s backyard!
I feel 100% safe putting my family's and I's lives in Guillaume's hands. The team is highly skilled and highly talented and know the mountain better than the back of their hands. Lots of fun and lots of excitement!
I am still smiling thinking back to all the amazing views, friendship and fun. On a separate note, meals prepared by Guillaume and CMGs are just next level. From fresh veggies to wine, I have never been so full of amazing food. You can count on me as a repeat customer for many years to come.
Guillaume‘s attention to detail, safety first approach and passion for providing the best service possible, regardless of conditions, has made our client ski day something that everyone looks forward to!
