Experience
The right skills and experience for guiding in the wilderness take long time to accumulate. They require a unique blend of passion for outdoors, continuous learning, sound judgment and outgoing personality.
Our lead guide, Stano Faban, has been playing in the mountains since he was a toddler and loves to make people laugh. He is responsible for all hiring and training as well as guiding every day he can. (To apply, email us through our quick contact form.)
With over 20 years of summer and winter backcountry experience, Stano is a certified hiking guide and wilderness first aid responder.
While he has been adventuring all over the world his favourite playground are various Canadian mountain ranges, especially the Coast Mountains around Whistler, Pemberton and Vancouver.
Here are highlights of adventures and accomplishments that helped Stano gain valuable experience:
- climbing and skiing 7000m peaks in Kyrgyzstan and China
- completing various multi-day wilderness hikes
- skiing multi-day winter backcountry ski touring traverses (up 100km long)
- ascents of many peaks in Canada and abroad (climbing, skiing, hiking, running)
- representing Canada at 2010, 2011 and 2017 World Ski Mountaineering Championships
- organizing and volunteering at various sporting and mountain events
- placing top 5 in many triathlon, ski mountaineering and running races
Life happens between dirt and the clouds.
They say virtual reality is the “next thing” and will soon change the way we travel.
But why wait when we can enjoy the real thing right now.
