FFS Pod with Christine Feleki

Backdrop Journal's FFS Backcountry Podcast

Episode 16 - Christine Feleki is Canada’s first woman to be certified as an ACMG snowboard guide. Told she’d be better on skis, Christine simply knuckled down and proved that she could pass all the necessary assessments on her split. She started off working in various BC restaurants and cafes, to gain slope time, before beginning her 10 year journey from kitchen porter to guide. We chat guide culture, reshaping expectations and Christine talk us through the various hurdles you need to jump to become a ACMG guide.
