Gus Cormack

There’s a reason that Gus Cormack ended up in Whistler, and it wasn’t by chance—after spending seasons in Jackson Hole, Fernie, and Revelstoke, Gus ended up in Whistler in what he describes as the “Aussie Skier Tractor Beam” (Gus is originally from Australia), but let’s be honest: how could you not?

With a background in ski racing and a sincere appreciation for powder, Cormack ended up in Whistler because it offers the best of the best. And once he started sampling the freeskiing opportunities, he realized it was the place to be. 

Today, Cormack lives in the big-mountain haven of Pemberton, BC, and is one of our go-to powder hunters. Sign up for our Steeps Program and ask for Gus, you won’t regret it.

Favourite ski run: “Depends on the way the wind is blowing. Something with some deep pockets of pow that reward you for doing a little bit of head scratching.”
