Amazing 3 days of skiing Rogers Pass in BC with Conor at Arctos Guides. Everything was expertly handled from booking to our time in the mountains. My partner Maggie and I experienced great days of powder skiing and Conor was a complete professional that made our trip safe, fun, and memorable. We would recommend Arctos Guides for a great backcountry ski trip to BC!

I recently took the crevasse rescue course with Arctos Guides, and it was excellent from start to finish, great value!

The guides are incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and calm, creating a learning environment that feels both serious and approachable. They broke down complex systems into clear, logical steps and made sure everyone understood not just how to do the techniques, but why they work. The balance between theory and hands-on practice was spot on.

If you’re considering a crevasse rescue course, Arctos Guides delivers top-tier instruction—I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.
