Just came back from the Complete Mountaineering course with CWMS. Couldn't have hope for a better guide and location! So many skills learned in one week. Guide Jeff was super patient and motivating. Always encouraged us to be pro-active when navigating in the beautiful Whistler Blackcomb location. I loved that he encouraged us to be pro-active and test our skills straight away. He was always keen to answer all of our questions and share his passion and deep knowledge of the mountains. It was a week packed of a lot of learning, practice and fun. The five days in the backcountry were very efficient. The location we camped at was beautiful and with nice approaches to slopes where we could practice self-arrest, walking on ice, and a great mountain as an objective. Totally surpassed my expectations. I feel like I have a solid base to start playing in the mountains with my friend thanks to these guys. Thank you!
I took my first course (Crevasse rescue) with CWMS last year and then I did AST1 with them earlier this year. The owner Brian is a top quality mountaineer and runs a great business. All his staff are extremely knowledgeable and skilled. I am glad I took these courses with Can West as the skills I learned have helped me lots in the mountains since.
My first backcountry ski trip was amazing - I'm really glad to have done it with Canada West Mountain School. The School owner (our guide) was extremely experienced and knowledgeable and provided us with tips on how to prepare for an overnight ski trip (food, clothing, gear), tips on winter camping, basic avalanche training, safety awareness knowledge, and backcountry ski technique. The environment was fun and friendly and conducive to learning. I'd highly recommend the School to anyone looking to get into backcountry skiing or winter camping.
I did the Spearhead Traverse with guide, Les Manley, who was extremely skilled and responsive to the needs and skill level of our group. I would highly recommend Canada West Mountain School to anyone interested in a guided trip.
Linda and the whole crew were great to me. Brent went above and beyond teaching during a 2 day top rope anchoring course.I learned so much and had a blast..if you are solo be prepared to be possibly rescheduled for the 2 day class unless you have a crew of people taking the course..which in hindsight I wish I would have convinced some friends to come along because it was such a great experience!
