Our Team
Christian Begin
Christian was drawn to the Rocky Mountains at a young age and started his life long love with skiing and the outdoors as a "liftie" at a ski resort outside Banff. His passion led to filmmaking where he made one of the first mountain biking videos "Kranked" and many other films including working for National Geographic. Christian was also one of the co-founders of Bella Coola Heli Sports voted the best heli-skiing in the world (twice). He has worked and traveled all over the world and now shares his passions with his family, friends, and visitors to Squamish.
Most recently Christian and his entire family have embarked on a year long journey to backpack and explore the world! Some of the places they have visited are Greece, Turkey, Africa and they are now in S.E. Asia! What an amazing experience!
Brent Macdonald
Brent has always had a passion for the outdoors, adventure and travel. He started his career as a “liftie” at a ski resort in Banff when he was 19 yrs old and has since traveled and worked all over the world seeking new adventures. He went to school for Outdoor Recreation Management and became a whitewater guide and owner of a local rafting company. He also was a skills instructor for Capilano University and taught whitewater rafting and kayaking. He has guided many custom adventures from expedition canoeing and rafting trips to mountain biking, hiking, sea kayaking and even a few horseback / fly fishing trips.
Recently Brent has been taking on a few of the Camino de Santiago routes in Spain and Portugal. 2 years ago he walked from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic - 1400km across Spain with his Father. This was his 4th Camino de Santiago and he is now planning his 7th!
