BlackSheep Adventure Sports Inc.

Monte and Hayden led us on a 5 day ski touring trip and we had a great time. First off, they're very competent and I fully trusted that they were making safe/smart decisions throughout the trip. As guides they took us into some awesome zones and were extremely considerate of everyone's ski abilities and personal objectives. I'm already thinking about my next trip with Black Sheep.

Just moved to the Sea to Sky zone last year and connected with Monte for the AST 2 followed by some help-bump day-touring.

Got quickly sync with Monte and felt all of the things you want in a partner: super-pro, deep experience, open & sensible decision-making discussion, fun vibe. Really looking forward to more and bigger adventures with Black Sheep. Jeff

I have done multiple instruction courses and guided trips with BlackSheep Adventure Sports over the past years, and can’t praise Monte’s professionalism and experience as a guide enough.
From rock climbing (sport, trad, multi-pitch), ice climbing, backcountry skiing/touring, crevasse rescue training, glacier travel and multiple adventures climbing mountains, Monte has been my trusted mentor on my journey to become an alpinist. During all the group courses and trips he still paid close attention to my individual development and risk tolerance, and he keeps pushing me to the next level, taking me places I’d never imagine I could go. We are already planning what training and trips we could do next.

He also brews a pretty decent alpine coffee, so that’s a plus. ;-)

Monte is a very professional guide and teacher. The biggest compliment I can give anyone is to let them take my son out without me in the mountains. With Monte I would not hesitate to let him take my 15 year old son out climbing. That alone speaks to the trust I have in his skill, safety and preparation. Monte also has an immense amount of knowledge.

I took two courses with BlackSheep Adventure Sports this summer - Multi Pitch Systems and Summer Glacier Travel and Crevasse Rescue. Both were awesome, well-organized, and info-packed. We benefited from a small guide-to-participant ratio and the friendly, professional guides gave us the latest best practices and answered our many questions! They were all super passionate about the mountains and created a positive, hands-on learning environment. At the end of the courses I had so much more confidence to start heading out on my own and making my own decisions. Thanks so much Monte, Marcus, and Dan - this summer was rad thanks to your instruction!
