Our Expert Guides
Michaela
Michaela was born and raised in Calgary, Alberta. She moved to the Bow Valley in 2015 to pursue her love for skiing and adventure.
She is passionate about skiing, biking and hiking. Moreover, she uses her adventures in the outdoors as inspiration as an artist. She creates paintings based on her time exploring the mountains so she can share her experiences. During the winter she is a ski patroller at Lake Louise Ski Resort.
Being a cycling guide allows her to share her passion for the mountains with others while spreading respect for the untamed Rockies and the wildlife who call this place home.
Sean
Sean was born in British Columbia but grew up in the UK. In his twenties, he travelled extensively around the world and worked a few ski seasons in Whistler.
After going home to complete his education, he became a highly successful politics and history teacher. But the outdoors was always calling, so in 2008 he returned to Canada so that he could begin a new career in outdoor recreation.
Since then, he has worked as a hiking guide, canoe guide and bear viewing guide for various firms in and around Whistler and the Rockies. His favourite activity is multi-day backpacking trips, the more remote the better.
Sean has the following certifications: ACMG Assistant Hiking Guide, IGA Apprentice Hiking Guide, Wilderness First Responder, Flatwater Canoe and CSIA Level 1.
Emilie
Originally from Quebec City, Emilie spent several years living on the scenic Gaspé Peninsula before making the move west in 2023 to embrace the majestic landscapes of the Canadian Rockies.
Since settling in the Bow Valley, Emilie has shared her passion for the outdoors by teaching cross-country skiing and mountain biking at the renowned Canmore Nordic Centre. She is a certified hiking guide with the Association of Canadian Mountain Guides and brings both enthusiasm and experience to every adventure.
When she’s not guiding, Emilie enjoys exploring the mountains on skis, bike, or foot—and can often be found perfecting her sourdough bread at home.
Emilie looks forward to welcoming you to the Rockies and sharing the joy she finds in discovering this incredible region—whether it’s your first visit or your hundredth.
Bailey
Bailey grew up in a small town in Northen British Columbia. She currently resides just outside of Kootenay National Park where she’s actively working at becoming a fully accredited Ski Guide under the Association of Canadian Mountain Guide.
When she’s not cycling and hiking with you in the Canadian Rockies, you can find her doing the same with her friends in and around Banff National Park. During the winter, Bailey works as an Avalanche Forecaster for Panorama Ski Resort just outside of Invermere British Columbia.
She looks forward to sharing our knowledge, love and passion for the outdoor during your trip.
