The Staff

Guides

Our guides are fully certified with the Association of Canadian Mountain Guides (ACMG) and are very knowledgeable. We provide two guides per full group of 6 or more customers. We have a very open guiding policy at Sorcerer. Guests are encouraged to discuss the trips and routes planned for the day. If anyone has concerns, we are happy to listen, explain, instruct and adapt to make you comfortable.

Sorcerer does accept unguided groups. However, because of the seriousness of the terrain, we will request resume’s. We need to know that the group has the knowledge and the skills to deal with the glaciated country and the avalanche potential.

Custodians

All Self Catered, Self Guided trips will have a custodian at the lodge. They will help you with the basic operation of the hut and assist in the many daily chores required to keep everyone comfortable. They also love to ski and will usually join the group when they can. However, they are NOT guides and are not qualified to give direction or lead. Groups that have chosen not to hire a guide must refrain from asking the custodian for advice. It puts our staff into a difficult liability situation.

Cook

Our cooks present hearty and delicious meals that will keep your furnaces going through those big days on the mountain. We have no problem with vegetarian preferences, or allergies. For the Self Guided weeks a cook is optional. If you choose to go with a cook, we will gladly set you up with one of our experienced and talented staff.

Office

The office is my home. I have two boys, 15 & 17 years old, and a large dog. Both the dog and the boys frequently have friends over. It is often noisy, and a great deal of fun. The best times to call are during the day from 10:00 - 3:00 or in the evenings after 8:00. Rest assured that any background noise will NOT follow you into the backcountry. We have a great track record of running well organised, excellent holidays. We do it with a sense of humour and a love for both the business and the people who come to visit us. We have the best job on earth and are very fortunate that we can work it into the life of the whole family.

Powder Slave

Occasionally the full service packages will also have a trainee guide join the trip. These are individuals that are working towards their guiding accreditation through the ACMG and need practicum experience. We consider this a mentoring and learning period for individuals. They will join the group skiing, and assist in the many daily chores required to keep the hut running and comfortable.

We are here to help you plan your perfect holiday and answer all your questions. Please feel free to get in touch with us for more information.
