Where to find them

Most of the region's guides & outfitters are in Nelson, Fernie and Invermere. In all, they are in 24 towns. Most of them have their own website, and the links below take you straight there.

Guides here do more online than almost any other trade. That is because people from other provinces book these trips months ahead. The website makes the sale long before anyone talks. Ask what happens if the weather turns bad. A good outfit has a clear answer about cancelling. A shaky one gets vague. Ask what certifications the guides hold and how big the groups are, most of all for trips into avalanche country.
