The Ski Guide Certificate
This program is designed to develop the guiding and instructional skills needed to work in a backcountry ski and snowboard environment.
Ski Guides work in heliskiing, snowcat skiing, and in the many backcountry ski touring lodges in Canada.
ACMG Ski Guides also participate in hut to hut or tent based glacier traverses and ski mountaineering trips where ascents of non-technical peaks may be climbed as part of a ski trip.
The Canadian Avalanche Association (CAA) professional Level I course is required for entry into the certificate program.
