Morning hike at cheakamus lake
We had an amazing time on our guided hike! The scenery was beautiful, and the entire experience was well-organized and enjoyable from start to finish. Our guide, Rob, was fantastic — knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure we felt comfortable and engaged along the way. We learned a lot and had a great time. Highly recommend this hike and Rob as a guide

Crator Ridge hike to mountain lake.
We enjoyed our 8 km hike up crator ridge. Vincent was very knowledgeable. He provided hiking poles for us. He also took some really nice photos for us. It was a good walk but we were able to go at our on pace. The views were amazing. At the top we had a quick cold plunge in a beautiful lake. I would recommend it to anyone who more comfortable with an experienced guide to help them. Thank you Vincent!
Operator response
This sounds like it went swimmingly! I'm glad it was such a lovely day on the mountain with Vincent, thank you for the feedback.

Unforgettable Hiking Adventures with Glen!
We're so happy we found MSAA! As a beginner-intermediate level hiker who has lived in NYC for the past 15 years, the idea of hiking around in bear country was... a little scary to me. Over 3 weeks, Glen guided us through 8 carefully-selected hikes (all of which had a wide variety of scenery, terrain... breathtaking views...) that I would have never attempted to hike by myself. Each trail challenged me beyond what I expected of myself (several technical sections... one of them was a black diamond level trail!... another was an 18km hike! I was SO proud of myself!)- Glen always calmly made me feel at ease about wildlife and what to expect and was patient, encouraging and friendly. He taught me several things that made me feel more confident on trails that I'll always carry with me on future hikes. If we're in the Squamish/Whistler area again next year, I'll absolutely be calling up MSAA again!
Operator response
Thank you so much for your review! We are so happy you were able to get out on the trails with Glen! He is a FANTASTIC guide who loves sharing his passion for the outdoors with others. It was so fun putting together the perfect itinerary for you to explore the Sea to Sky. We certainly hope to see you back again soon!

perfect guided hike
My guide (Jonas) contacted me for more information to allow him to select the right hike - which he then chose perfectly. Great communication, excellent safety & consideration, just perfectly judged - I would recommend him, and Mountain Skills Academy - unreservedly. Thanks

Breathtaking and Insightful
A guided tour of the area surronding Whistler was thoroughly enjoyable, with breathtaking views of the scenery which should be seen first hand.
My guide Jonas was a delight to spend time with, clearly knowledgeable and full of enthusiasm for the Whistler countryside.
Would highly recommend to those in the area during the summer months.
Operator response
We are thrilled to have you as part of the MSAA family! Thank you for sharing your kind words with us. It means the world to us and to our entire team. We look forward to serving you again soon!

Hike to loggers lake
Brilliant hike with a memorable guide, huge thanks from us. The guide was knowledgeable and very nice and kind to be around. The hike up along side the river was fantastic, and also the lake was perfect, so perfect that one of my boys took a swim
