SELKIRK MOUNTAIN EXPERIENCE

Ruedi Beglinger offers what one client calls “high-performance guiding.” To ski with Ruedi, you need to be in strong physical condition, know your equipment inside out, and be able to speedily transition from climbing to skiing. The reward? Several thousand vertical metres of both alpine and gladed backcountry runs—as much as you can handle. Easier tours are available for less ambitious/experienced skiers. Trips are based from Durrand Glacier Chalet, with hut-to-hut overnighters to the Moloch and Empire Lake chalets.

Cool stat: Ruedi and his family were the focus of “A Life Ascending,” a documentary film based on the Beglinger’s commitment to mountain life.
