We get asked all the time "Why Hire A Guide". For those sledders looking to ride anywhere in BC under the direction or guidance of someone else: Please ensure you research who you are 'hiring'. Ask questions, research their business, and check for business license, certifications and insurance. Examples of professional level certifications (vs recreational) may include Association of Canadian Mountain Guides, Canadian Avalanche Association - Operations Level 1,2, or 3 (professional avalanche risk mitigation), an 80 hour or more first aid course, Ground Search and Rescue Technician training just to name a few. There are several business and locals available at very reasonable rates that can offer exceptional service.
I bet the question is more "why would I hire you", not why hire a guide.
