Max made the entire trip so amazing!!! I had no idea what to expect. He was so responsive, patient and knowledgeable leading up to the trip, answering all our questions. The skiing was awesome. Max knew how to plan the perfect day of skiing and always ensured safety was a top priority. Beyond that, he imparted so much history of the area making everything so interesting. He can do anything. Very enjoyable person to spend time with as well! Highly recommend!!

Max went above and beyond throughout our trip to ensure that we were safe in the backcountry, had tons of fun, and experienced the local culture. He was extremely knowledgeable and flexible, adapting the trip’s plans to our needs. He has a deep understanding of the local terrain and avalanche conditions, so we knew we were safe in challenging situations. He has a knack for finding good snow too — it was over 2 weeks since the last storm but we still skied deep powder!

Maxim is a great guide. Safe and knowledgeable and caters to the abilities of who’s on the tour. I’ve done 2 tours with him and I’m looking forward to doing more.

I've been skitouring (snowboard) with Max for 2 seasons and certainly going to continue this season. Max is definitely a safety-first guide with great skills and knowledge. But he also great at finding and exploring superb slopes and lines, helpful for the beginners (as we are) and more experiences riders.

Went skitting with Max a few times. Picks great lines based on physical fitness and rider level. She lays down comfortable skintracks. Had a lot of fun with the gurney+gained additional skills. I recommend it!
