Chris Winter

The renaissance man of Extremely Canadian, you might find it tough to hear all of his stories in one day—but if you give him a nudge, you might get a few—stories of his pioneering of mountain biking trails in Whistler, his days filming skiing with Teton Gravity Research, or a tale of one of his biking adventures in Iceland.

 Winter has been around for a while, but he won’t tell you—he’ll just show you. If you want a day of guiding to the best spots, he’s your man. Looking to work on a specific entrance to an alpine bowl you haven’t conquered? He’s got that too.
