Steve is a certified ACMG Apprentice Ski Guide and has been working in the ski industry for more than fifteen years. He began his guiding work as a ski patroller and has spent many years guiding in the backcountry, cat skiing, and heli skiing. Steve started working for Chatter Creek in 2009. In the summer months, Steve can be found kayaking Haida Gwaii where he leads expedition kayak trips. When Steve is not guiding in the mountains or on the ocean, he can be found at home in Canmore, Alberta with his family

Born and raised on BC powder, Brodie has spent the better part of his winters exploring the mountains on skis. Certified as an ACMG Apprentice Ski guide and working towards Mountain Guide certification, Brodie is looking to share his passion for the sport with others. In the summers you can find him hanging off a rope on one of the many peaks of the Canadian Rockies or working as a wood crafter from his home in the Blaeberry.

Stefan started skiing at the age of four and has been in love with the best winter sport ever since. His professional ski career began in 1984 when he began teaching skiing in Quebec. Soon enough the mountains were not big enough, and he relocated to BC to find great snow and big mountains and moved from teaching skiing to ski patrolling and eventually ski guiding for the last thirteen years. Stefan is an instructor for the Canadian Ski Guides Association (CSGA), a Professional Member of the Canadian Avalanche Association, a Level 3 CSGA Guide, an ACMG Apprentice Ski Guide and an internationally certified ski instructor. He is fluent in English, French, and German and also speaks a little Spanish. Stefan is looking forward to skiing the best powder available with you in a relaxed yet safe atmosphere.

Jordan learned to ski in the small hills of Ontario but moved west for bigger mountains and deeper powder almost a decade ago. As a recently certified ACMG Apprentice Ski Guide he’s looking forward to guiding groups at Chatter Creek. Prior to guiding Jordan spent his winters as a ski patroller and avalanche technician at Panorama Mountain. When the winter ends, he spends most of his time planting trees or rock climbing around his current home of Invermere, BC.

Downtown Rachel Brown, all the way from Labrador via St John’s Newfoundland. Before Chatter Creek Rachel spent 17 years in Lake Louise where she worked as an avalanche forecaster and ski patroller. Deep and soft snow lured her to the west side of the Rockies in 2006 and she hasn’t looked back. Rachel now lives in Nelson BC where she spends her summers working on the garden and enjoying the West Kootenays.

Matt is going into his eighth winter working at Chatter. Matt is a Gemini and encompasses the traits of said astrological sign, including a double personality. One is a skier, while the other is a knuckle dragging snowboarder. During the summer Matt spends much of his time praying for forest fires to engulf the province, learning just enough Spanish to get by down south and making skin donations to local area skateboard parks.

This will be Jamie’s third season working at Chatter Creek. Prior to tail guiding at Chatter she spent 5 seasons ski patrolling at Kicking Horse resort in Golden. In the summer she spends her time chasing unicorns and guiding multi-day river rafting trips in Canada’s north.

Originally from Quebec, Val first tasted champagne powder six years ago and never went back. She has been guiding cat skiing, and ski touring for the past 3 years and is excited for her first regular season at Chatter Creek. She spends her summers leading groups up various summits of Alberta and British Columbia while dreaming of snowy peaks. If you can’t find her in the alpine, she might be surfing, sailing or traveling around the globe.
