The Guides
Here is a small list of UIAGM mountain guides that are awesome
and fun to be with in the mountains.
Olivier Roduit is a guide also
living in this valley. Olivier and I often work together on trips. He wrote a
climbing guide book for this and the neighboring
valleys.GIlbert Hiroz lives in Verbier and
knows these hills like the back of his hand. The master of understatement and a
really nice guy to be with.Stephen Hadik is another
guide living in Verbier who is always ready to go out for a
climb.David Michaud lives in
Verbier and is really nice to be with. He does a good job of entertaining while
guiding. Marie Hiroz, living in Verbier,
has a unique way of taking her clients here and there. It's always nice to meet
her high in the hills.Doug Coombs passed away, skiing
in 2006. He was a buddy of mine from way back. He worked out of La Grave and
Jackson Hole and was instrumental in starting the whole Valdez, Alaska scene.
Doug and I organized two superb weeks of heli-skiing in Greenland.
It is very difficult to believe this guy, with so much character, is really
gone.John Falkiner- The one and only,
the real thing, John Falkiner. Do I need to say more about this classic
dude?Kathy Cosley and Mark Houston
are two American certified guides who are really nice to be with. Their site is
incredibly informative!
