Christy Long

Christy has been ripping it up in Whistler for over 20 years, which means you’ve probably woo’d at her from the chair at least once in your days here. Originally hailing from North Delta, BC, she’s been with Extremely Canadian since 2019 and loves guiding people into the backcountry. One of her standout memories? Heli-based ski touring near Mount Currie. Despite living in Chamonix for two years, here favourite place to ski is still in the wild West Kootenays, where her ACMG Ski Guide and CAA Avalanche Professional credentials are sure to come in handy to keep everyone safe and sound. She left the question for “perfect day in the mountains,” blank, which honestly checks out.  Hard to pick just one moment when you’ve lived a lifetime of them, like Christy has.
