Full of fantastic views of not just the exquisite, and aptly named Emerald lake, this ski touring route will also provide you with a great chance to see Mount Field, as well as the Presidents’ peaks.
The approach to the Emerald Lake Slide path is quite short, but unbelievably scenic. It will show you just what makes the Yoho National Park, where the lake is located, so popular and beloved.
We will be skiing around the lake, where you can enjoy a number of great backcountry slopes and descents. And as we make our way around, you can either enjoy an ascent and subsequent descent of the Emerald peak, or you can descend back to the lake, where you can visit the Emerald lodge.
Some people like to challenge themselves and ski tour on the highest, most arduous peaks in the Rockies. However, there are others who prefer to enjoy easier, but still exciting routes, which will enable them to focus more on the beauty of the surroundings. If you fall into the latter, this trip will definitely suit you. If you want to see for yourself, just send me a request.
I can also lead you on a full day ski touring adventure on the Surprise Pass route that will take you around the Fairview mountain.

Mountain Guide
Based in Canmore, Alberta, I am an IFMGA- and ACMG-certified mountain guide. I also serve in the Canadian Armed Forces and am a founding partner of the Outward Bound Veterans Program.
My mission is for you to learn the skills to be competent and independent in the backcountry. I will break down complex skill sets into individual building blocks for you to learn progressively and confidently. After learning the skills, you will get to practice them in the backcountry with my guidance or that of one of the ACMG-certified guides in my team.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
