Since 2016-17, Kootenay Backcountry Guides has provided avalanche education and guiding experiences based out of Nelson, B.C. Our private guided tours and avalanche education courses are focused in the backcountry around Whitewater Ski Resort and Kootenay Pass. We also run lodge trips and lodge-based AST-2 courses out of various lodges in B.C. Throughout the spring, we run basecamps and traverses.
