"Can't say enough about how awesome KBG is. They are committed to backcountry safety above all else, and are fantastic stewards for outdoor enthusiast safety. I'll be doing as much backcountry education as I can through them!"
"My son and I took the Backcountry 101 course and we had the guide to ourselves for the day. Roger was patient with me as I was quite slow and had some trouble with my gear. He could see that my son was a good skier and would likely continue doing some more courses so he really filled him with valuable information. Overall it was a really good day and I recommend Kootenay Backcountry Guides."
