Coast Mountain Guides is a family-run mountain guiding company based in Whistler, British Columbia, Canada, founded in 1998 by Savio Otis and led today by Guillaume Otis. Our guides are certified by the Association of Canadian Mountain Guides (ACMG), and our avalanche courses are taught by Canadian Avalanche Association professionals. We run backcountry ski touring and splitboarding, Avalanche Skills Training (AST 1 and AST 2), rock climbing courses and guiding in Squamish, mountaineering and crevasse-rescue courses, and private guiding for up to six people across the Sea to Sky corridor — Whistler, Squamish and Pemberton — about two hours north of Vancouver and four and a half hours from Seattle. Prices are in Canadian dollars and bookings are taken online. Phone 604-932-1458, email info@coastmountainguides.com.
Conditions first: we decide the line the morning we leave, on the snowpack and the sky. Low ratios: we cap our trips smaller than the standard. Professional, always: guiding is our profession, not a side job.
