About US

The mountains are what we live for, snowboarding is what we love.

Our motivation lies in sharing this love and providing boarders with the experience they crave. Untouched fall lines and deep trees. We understand the differences between how skiers and snowboarders travel in the mountains; the specific challenges and subtle nuances of backcountry snowboarding are what we specialize in, allowing you to progress your techniques in a supportive environment.

What started out as a love for sliding down mountains has lead our team of specialized Mountain Guides to pursue excellence in the art of sharing the beauty and freedom they have found in the rugged Coast Mountains. From our bases in Squamish and Whistler BC, we provide access to the most amazing mountain experiences the West Coast can offer. Our exciting itineraries showcase the Coast Range but reach beyond to the interior ranges of the Selkirkʼs and Purcellʼs and onto the Rockies. We also offer trips internationally from the historic and classic European Alps to the Onsen surrounded Volcanos of Japan.

Corvus is dedicated to facilitating custom trips;

letting you do the dreaming, while we take care of the logistics, providing a comfortable place to push yourself while maintaining the highest professional standard, so you know that when we give you the green light to shred your dream line you can drop in with confidence.

Regardless of your skill level and chosen objective; our purpose is to provide you with an opportunity to perfect your techniques and gain knowledge from industry pros.

Whether it be an AST course designed specifically for backcountry snowboarder’s or a gnarly alpine summit; our goal is to give you room to progress your own skills.

Thank you for considering us for your next mountain adventure.

Corvus was created by snowboarders for snowboarders. We understand the unique challenges and hazards that are faced by split-boarders and recognized a lack of resources so we took it into our own hands, to create a comfortable and safe environment for boarders to progress they’re knowledge and skills. Even though skiers and boarders are all sliding down snow in the same fashion the way we look at terrain and make decisions can be very different. This is where Corvus comes in; whether it be your first time touring or your dream line, let us show you how to get up and most importantly how to get down again.

*Corvus Snowboarding is a subsidiary of Altus Mountain Guides.

Ross Berg

Born in Red Deer, Alberta, Ross discovered the mountains as a teenager visiting western Canada’s best winter destinations as a sponsored snowboarder. At the age of 16, he was introduced to rock climbing through a local Whistler guide. This experience completely captivated him and opened his eyes to the huge potential the mountains presented. In the following years he completed his certification as an international mountain guide. “I feel privileged to be able to work as a mountain guide, and look forward to sharing the thrill of the mountains with my guests.” Ross has guided, climbed and skied in the European Alps for the last several seasons. When he’s at home he can be found working as a heli ski guide in winters and climbing alpine rock routes in summer.

Hayden Buck

After getting his degree in Criminal Justice Hayden decided policing was not for him, so he moved to Japan to teach English and fortunately for us, discovered the world of ski guiding. He has been guiding for 9 years, beginning his career in Hokkaido and converting his travel addiction into a career. One of Hayden’s youthful goals was to spend every night, year-round, in a hotel. He’s halfway there as he lives out of his duffel bag six months of the year while guiding in Hokkaido, Pakistan, the Alps as well as near his current home, Squamish.
