Keith Reid

It’s a shame we only have a few paragraphs, because telling the story of Keith Reid truly deserves a novel. Born and raised in North Vancouver, Reid cut his teeth pioneering first ascents in the rock climbing world, but turned his attention to skiing around the age of twenty.

One of the most accomplished mountain guides in North America, Keith has skied in every condition imaginable, ticked off descents all over the world, and once held the speed record for the coveted Spearhead Traverse.

Our lead guide and head of the backcountry program, if you have the chance to go on a backcountry day with Keith, it’s an opportunity you won’t want to miss—if there’s fresh snow out there, Keith’s gonna take you right to it.
