Olivier Gendron

It only takes a hill to seed a passion for skiing. For Oli, it outgrew his entire life in Quebec. He rolled into whistler and quickly made an impression by winning 2002 snowschool rookie of the year. He’s been guiding for EXCAN ever since! Between powder-filled days in the alpine, Oli’s the cool ski-bum teacher at Howe Sound Secondary in Squamish. Guests need to be warned: Oli’s passion for skiing is contagious… are you ready for some life changes of your own?
