From the initial helicopter flight to the last run of your holiday, your safety is paramount. Prior to the first day in the mountains, all guests are instructed in techniques for traveling in our terrain. Current techniques for conducting beacon searches are demonstrated and practiced.

All guiding staff are trained and certified by the Association of Canadian Mountain Guides (ACMG), one of the most respected institutions of its kind. This process ensures that guides have extensive ski touring experience, exposure to a variety of operations, experience in a variety of snowpacks, and meet current professional standards. Certifications are also held in first aid and as avalanche technicians through the Canadian Avalanche Association (CAA). Lead guides are professional members of the CAA. Guides meet every morning and evening to review field and lodge weather and snowpack information. This information is used to analyze hazards, up-to-the-minute snowpack stability assessments, and ultimately, to select appropriate terrain for each new day.

Sol Mountain Touring is also a member of the Backcountry Lodges of British Columbia (BLBC), ensuring that we meet a comprehensive set of operating guidelines.
