All of our team members have the same passion for the mountain life, and they are eager to share that passion with you. Our guides and instructors all call Fernie home. We are proud to live in this small mountain town and offer quality guiding and instructing so that you too can satisfy your craving!

A	Anna Mihalj on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I have used Mountain Addicts Ski Guiding services on many occasion in the Fernie Area. It has always been a really fun experience with a lot of learning and high quality skiing and safely getting to know new areas around the zone. It has been easy to book and even during the pandemic the scheduling and support was amazing. I also took my AST 2 with Mountain Addicts Guiding and Instruction and it forever changed the way I look a the backcountry. The instructor, Melissa, was incredibly knowledgeable and an engaging instructor. The course was really hands on and current and a lot of really fun learning! Mountain Addicts went over and above for this course, IMO.
A	Andrew Culm on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Completed the midweek AST 1 course with Mountain Addicts. Can not recommend this course or Mountain Addicts strongly enough. Our instructor (the business owner) Mel is extremely knowledgeable, professional and generally rad. The course is a must for anyone considering exploring the backcountry and Mountain Addicts does an exceptional job presenting the information. Enjoy!
C	Chris Slubicki on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We went Alpine Touring (group of 11) with Mountain Addicts near Fernie. The conditions were tough but our guides Steve and Duncan were first rate. As we told them at the end of the day - they managed to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. A very enjoyable and educational day. Absolutely first rate.
b	brandon wagstaff on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Taking the AST-1 course was a good learning experience and will definitely guide some of my decision making when touring avalanche terrain. There is a lot to learn about backcountry hazards and safety. This course should be one of the first steps you take before going in avalanche terrain. KBYG!
F	Fred S. on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Avalance Safety Training 1 was an excellent course. Marc was a great instructor, very knowledgable and great interaction. Having the course in Revelstoke was very convenient since I will be here for a month. The idea to provide the PDF of the manual ahead of time really helped to get the most out of the course.
S	Simon Lefrancois on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I had an awesome AST 2 course at the McDermott hut. Mel is very resourceful and an excellent guide. She is passionate and explains everything in a clear and detailed way. She even provided tips on how to lay down the best skin trips and we had the opportunity for some great skiing laps. I'd highly recommend following this course for anyone looking to up their skills in the backcountry. The hut is top quality, the food was excellent and the immersive experience was the cherry on top. Thanks again for such a valuable and fun experience!
i	isabelle paxton on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Learnt a ton! Great instructors who made everything really easy to understand and made a Heavy content course very entertaining and fun. The guides were really non judgmental and very friendly. The field day was also super informative and everything just felt very fun when I was expecting it to be just a long day of learning. Such a good experience, and such an Awesome company!!!!! I am definitely going to use mountain addicts when I do my AST 2 course:)
A	Aaron Thompson on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Took my AST 1 over the weekend in Fernie with Mel, and had a fantastic experience - couldn't recommend Mountain Addicts enough! Everything was very well planned out, professional, and organized, but also really enjoyable and a ton of fun. The classroom portion was engaging and interesting, and gave the group good base knowledge which we were able to use in the field on the second day. While we were travelling through avalanche terrain I never felt in danger, as Mel had given us the tools needed to assess risk and proceed with caution. Mel was an awesome instructor, and massively qualified to teach this course! Overall, I feel much more confident in my skills after this course, and I feel as though I have a strong foundation that I can build upon with practice and taking more courses in the future. I strongly recommend taking any courses/guiding with Mountain Addicts. 10/10!
