Sol Mountain's ACMG certified backcountry skiing guides put safety as priority for your holiday.
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.
Sol Mountain's ski guides 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.
Waiver of Liability
Sol Mountain Touring is committed to providing a safe and enjoyable mountain experience. Ski touring in the backcountry mountain environment exposes skiers to inherent risks. All guests must read and sign a Release of Liability and Waiver of Claims Agreement before the start of a holiday at Sol Mountain Touring. This is common practice for all backcountry ski operations in British Columbia. Be sure to review the waiver prior to your holiday. Contact us if you have any questions.
