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?
Zoya makes more things happen than Sarah Jessica Parker does in “I Don’t Know How She Does It.” She billy goats her way down a couloir, then perches herself on an exposed rock to photograph everyone else trying to do the same, then slinks home to make a delicious meal for everyone while they’re still staring up with incredulity at the line. When everyone hauls their exhausted asses in to a steaming home-made three course meal, Zoya and her floppy hat look like they’ve just woken up from a long nap. Everywhere she goes, the light seems to play tricks on everything. Some call it talent, but we’re pretty sure she’s magic.
