Know Before you go
Blackbird Mountain Guides offers both scheduled group programs and private programs.
Private programs are simply above and beyond what Blackbird Mountain Guides currently has scheduled. Scheduled courses are not always less expensive. Before booking a trip with Blackbird Mountain Guides, clients are encouraged to review the differences between these types of programs, and to decide what works best for them.
SCHEDULED PROGRAMS
Scheduled Programs have fixed dates, itineraries, objectives, curriculum, and costs. They typically appeal to solo individuals or small groups or who are looking to share the cost of their program with a larger group. Correspondingly, scheduled programs are less expensive for smaller groups (1-2), and they provide the opportunity to meet others with similar interests. If you have a large group (3+), Scheduled programs will often be more expensive. They can fill up quickly, and scheduling flexibility is obviously limited.
Scheduled programs will have advertised dates. All scheduled programs can be run as private programs with private dates/rates as well.
PRIVATE PROGRAMS
Private programs have scheduling freedom. They typically appeal to those who would like some flexibility in planning their own trip or course. In this regard, Itineraries and objectives can be tailored to suit current conditions as well as client goals. Private programs are normally less expensive for larger groups (3+). If you have a small group (1-2) private programs will be more expensive.

Epic Reviews From Adventurers
- Rated 5 out of 5 starsEPIC hut trip to Icefall Lodge!
Blackbird organized an EPIC hut trip to IceFall Lodge in BC this past January. Expectations were high and they more than delivered. It turned out to be a bucket list experience. Blackbird's planning, coordination and organization were spot on. Our guides navigated challenging snow conditions, keeping us safe, but still enabling us to ski epic terrain in an amazing backcountry environment. I've used Blackbird in the past and will continue to use them for backcountry skiing experiences. The best in the business. Thanks Zeb!
Greg F. - Rated 5 out of 5 starsTalented, professional guides, incredible terrain!
Just finished up a backcountry tour to Icefall Lodge with Blackbird. We had an incredible time and really enjoyed touring with Zeb. He is a super talented and professional guide who managed the challenging snow conditions well allowing our group to safely access some incredible terrain in the Canadian Rockies.
Brian H. - Rated 5 out of 5 starsHighly contagious, constant good vibe!
Zeb is someone who obviously lives life to the fullest and you want to be around him due to his highly contagious constant good vibe! What a pleasure it was to spend time at Icefall, BC, Canada with him. He confidently guided us through challenging terrain previously unknown to him during a gnarly snowpack year.
