J	Jennifer Thorn on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Tom Wolf was our back country ski guide for a week at the Selkirk Lodge 1/2020. He and the other guides over delivered everyday. Tom not only knows where to ski for amazing runs but makes sure it is safe. He handles group dynamics and made sure everyone’s needs where taken care of. He is just a super fun guy to hang with besides - out skiing or around the dinner table he is super fun to talk and joke with - just like an old friend and ski buddy. As soon as Covid restrictions are lifted for us Americans I plan to book a BC ski trip with him again- He’s the real deal and one of the best.
G	George M. Jackson on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Tom was professional, well equipped and well prepared! The snow conditions we experienced at Sunrise Lodge made it imperative to have a guide with experience to keep us safe yet challenged. Hope to ski with Tom and his crew again soon.
P	Paul Lambie on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I recently returned from a one week ski trip to the Burnie Chalet guided by Tom Wolfe of Sawback Alpine Adventures. Tom is an excellent guide and I would highly recommend any of his backcountry ski trips. I hope to return again in the near future.
T	Tom Heah on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Tom Wolfe was our ski guide on 2 memorable ski trips, to Sorcerer Lodge in 2018, and Valhalla Lodge in 2020. He and his assistant guides were very personable, friendly, professional, knowledgeable and fun. We felt very well taken care of in what is very rugged and potentially hazardous terrain. The chefs Tom hired were also awesome! I would not hesitate to ski with Tom again, and highly recommend him as a guide.
M	Margaret H on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I went on two trips with Tom last winter: to Carlyle Lodge in the interior of BC and to Svalbard. The skiing and snow conditions at Carlyle were great and Svalbard was definitely the experience of a lifetime in terms of the terrain, scenery and wildlife. It totally exceeded my expectations. Tom has a knack for picking great destinations and putting together fun, well organized trips.
A	Anna Cox on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I had the incredible opportunity of going on a hut trip with Sawback Alpine Adventures into the Selkirk hut for a week. Tom was our guide and the whole experience was magical. The guides were extremely knowledgeable they knew where to find the best turns everyday and how to keep everyone safe. They were also very fun and helpful in every way!! The trip was well organized, we did some avalanche training the first day and everyday after that we maximized our time on the snow! The hut was comfortable and had great food and staff! I would HIGHLY recommend booking a trip with Sawback Alpine Adventures!!
A	Alan Johnson on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Tom Wolfe and Svalbard, Norwegian Arctic on the Noorderlicht. I’ve done a few great trips with Tom over the years so when he emailed a year ago and asked if I wanted to go to the Arctic and ski from a steel hulled yacht I said yes without thinking... Good call. Svalbard was mind-boggling. I had expectations but it beat them. Getting into the zodiac everyday and skiing was amazing. Sea ice, glaciers, seals, walruses, beluga whales and polar bears. Huge huge glaciers, peaks as far as the eye can see. Just amazing scenery. We always enjoy skiing with Tom, classic Canadian mountain guide, mellow but fully on top of snow safety and daily plans for good skiing and tours. One of the best..... As an aside Phil Wickens who was the expedition leader from the boat was also fantastic and a wealth of knowledge - Arctic history, geology, flora and fauna and a very humble but extremely capable mountaineer and skier. Save your pennies and sign up for 2020 - you won’t regret it.....
C	Carey Arthur on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Our trip to Selkirk Lodge was our first multi-day backcountry ski trip. We had an absolutely amazing time. Our guides, Will, Konrad, and Roger, did a great job of finding the good snow and terrain while avoiding any questionable areas. They made sure there were good options if you wanted to charge hard or take it easy. And they were just fun guys to be around. Steve and Adele made the lodge feel like home and Karin is my new favorite chef. Those three worked their tails off but were still always smiling. Our fellow guests were awesome athletes but also super people, very patient and motivating and great to spend the evening chatting with. We had an awesome experience and cannot wait to get back into the mountains!
