If there was a PhD in the Whistler Lifestyle, Javier Munoz Santos would have earned it twice over. An avid mountain biker and skier, Javier has turned his passions into a profession in the most literal sense. 

Starting with a degree in Biomechanics and Psychology of Sports from the University of Grenada, Javier has a long list of accolades in the world of sports instruction and guiding. A bike guide in the summer, in the winter Javier splits his time between the backcountry and steeps program, working as a tail guide with plans to become a fully certified ACMG guide in the near future.

While Santos could likely work any job he wanted to in the industry, we couldn’t be happier to have him on our team.

First season working for Whistler Blackcomb: 2008

Certifications: Full ACMG, OPS 2, CSIA 3
