Hello guys, new to forum First post. Been at this for long time and member of many other sled forums. Been riding US Rocky’s for 25 yrs or so and heading to Revelstoke Jan. 14-18 for my bucket list. I’m the old guy at 63 and 4 others 30-40 yrs old. All have back country experience, some quite a bit, cpl have only a few trips. All have avy gear and some training. Wondering if anyone would like to show us around for a day or two for meals, drinks, cash? Phone # & name for a guide if not? Never hired a guide before but thinking because I know nothing of area and rules, etc. would take a lot of pressure off being I’m always the trail boss, and I could relax/enjoy a little more?
Appreciate any info, tips you could help us with.

Good on you guys for taking the right steps and hiring a guide. There are far too many call outs for search and rescue.

Is Mark still guiding? Saw on Facebook he was stepping away from the sport.

Not at all.

Just helped him out for 2 weeks of great trips with folks riding from all over the world.

Some real nice clients from novice to advanced.

Mark guided a group into Keystone/standard which I dont thing others would have been their in the foggy overcast conditions and then the afternoon sunny.

He will find you good snow when others say it is tracked out and finds places to ride when others are sitting at the cabin due to poor weather conditions.

That's great! Glad he had a change of heart.

Thanks abunch Markcos & Kimrick! Some of the US sites, peeps are kinda "full of them selves" and don't want to share any info except to locals. Just talked to Mark and he sounds like my kinda guy. Started right off with, "I'm gonna show ya **** you'll never forget".

Mark is a great guy and knows the mountain really well.

We were lucky enough to have Mark show us around Boulder the first time I rode there. He still says Hi at the cabin now and we still cant get back to where he took us hahaha

Never had a guide but stayed at the glacier house lots, really like it there. I got married there sledding. I like that you can ride right from there!
