Beyond experience, certification and passion, CAPOW! Guides are leaders of a growing community; a community that believes in sharing specialized mountain travel knowledge with recreational enthusiasts.
The team (Caposse) is a group of backcountry mentors that have three very important things in common:
A Capow! guide’s approach is more than “I lead, you follow,” instead, they inspire and educate steps through the PROcess of decision making and how it applies to the real mountain environment. They are backcountry mentors that lead by setting an example, stimulate the conversation and tailor to their guests desires for higher learning and experiences. This is our team, this is their backyard. Do you want to come along for the ride?
Sam is our token French Canadian. As much as he tries to hide his accent, he will always be french at heart. And heart is what you get with Sam. You wont meet anyone that will put more heart into everything he does. Sam is passionate with everything he does, and proud to show it. He is currently balancing a career of forest fire fighting for the province of BC in the summers and guiding full time in the winters.
