I've just returned from 4 weeks of ski touring in the Alps to a snowy welcome here at home in Canmore. At least the sun is out but the peaks around us are still caked in white. At any rate, it's the quiet time of the year for us and we're planning our summer! Stay tuned for our newsletter soon to come and few new trips that we will be posting!

Excellent w inter here in the Canadian Rockies so far: Just about all popular ice climbs are in good shape and the skiing is also shaping up real well with snow levels reaching 250cm at tree line in the Columbia ranges. The photo below was taken of Jim Seiler on December 14 in the Northern Selkirks - not bad!

Explore Magazine - September Issue
Jorg is featured in "Explore", probably the most popular Canadian outdoor magazine, representing mountain guiding in a piece about outdoor professions.

Following frequent requests, we finally posted an article that Jorg wrote for Rock and Ice Magazine in 2001 about the mountain guiding profession in the USA - pretty entertaining reading but unfortunately not much has changed in 10 years since!

Winter is looking pretty good already with about 1 meter of snow at treeline in the Columbia Mountains around Revelstoke. We are eagerly catching up with desk work during this "quiet time" for us, before the ice climbing and skiing season kicks in again at the end of November.

Please note that we have updated all our dates for summer 2008 now!
