Climbing and Ski Guiding in Canada and Around the World

Are you looking for a mountain guide to rock climb, mountain climb or ski in the famous mountaineering centers of Banff - Lake Louise in the Canadian Rockies, the Bugaboos or Rogers Pass? Assiniboine, Athabasca, Robson, Sir Donald, Bugaboo Spire, Selkirk powder skiing and the Wapta Traverse; these names are synonymous with mountain adventure in Canada. If this is what you are looking for then you've come to the right place. My name is Mark Klassen and I offer private mountain guiding, instructional courses and custom designed trips.

I am a fully qualified Mountain Guide certified by the Association of Canadian Mountain Guides (ACMG), which is a member of the International Federation of Mountain Guide Associations (IFMGA), and a Professional Member of the Canadian Avalanche Association. Over the past 12 years my guests and I have travelled throughout the Rocky Mountains, the Columbia and Coast ranges in British Columbia, Baffin Island, Mt. Logan, Nepal, Peru and the Alps. Whether it's your first mountain adventure or you want to realize a long-held alpine dream, together we can make it happen.

My objective in guiding is to achieve the goals of my guests while at the same time maintaining the highest safety standards in the guiding industry. Success to me means having an enjoyable, comfortable trip in the mountains while at the same time learning about myself and the environment around me.
