Snowshoe trip - Mark was great. He was prompt , kind and so knowledgeable. He consistently checked on everyone and tended to our needs. . I will also add that Mark make dinner recommendations. He was riding the gondola as I made them for later that evening. I had forgotten my sunglasses in the van. When we arrived at dinner the sunglasses were at the front podium waiting for me. That sweet angel make a special trip to drop off my glasses. Talk about going above and beyond ! ❤️

Great way to enjoy the snow in the mountains for non-skiers :) - This is the second time I've taken this tour while in town at a conference. Highly recommend! The views at the top of the mountain are amazing and it was easy to learn basic snowshoeing. It is a great way to experience the mountains and snow for us non-skiers. Sam was a fantastic guide, always ready to help. Thank you again for adding me last minute -- it would have been a shame to miss this experience.

Exceptional experience. - Exceptional in every way. An experience you will never forget. It’s quite full on if you’ve never done something like this before (like us!), but so worth it. Incredible views, and falling in the snow is actually great fun. Our guides Michael and Josh were so great - helpful, informative, fun, and really patient with us oldies (who were a bit slow!). An exhilarating once in a lifetime experience.

Snowshoeing on top of the world! Sunshine meadows - Snowshoeing with our fabulous guide Alina was outstanding! It was the best part of my time spent in Canmore/ Banff . She had little tidbits of knowledge that kept the adventure interesting on the geological history of the area! She was helpful, pleasant and a fabulous guide! This was my second return to do this activity last year our activity was with Meghan which was also an equally as knowledgeable! The views from the continental divide are so Snow White and majestic! I’ll return again for another repeat of this tour!
