GeoQwest Ski Safari Consulting
Custom Ski and Cultural Safaris Throughout BC


Your Host: Steve Noakes

Your guide spent his youth skiing at Red Mountain in Rossland at a time when hometown girl Nancy Greene won a Gold Medal in the 1967 Winter Olympics. Steve joined what was the inaugural chapter of Nancy Greene Little League and advanced to the Columbia Valley Racers. But university, an exploration career, travel and family evolved little time for skiing.

Having left corporate Vancouver, Steve is now an On-Hill Trainer for the Canadian Ski Patrol and works as the Professional Ski Patrol/Risk Manager at Crystal Mountain Resort near Kelowna.

Steve has combined his love of skiing with his professional touring experience into a consulting service that can take you to some of the best skiing in the province. As your personal on-hill guide, you'll find the runs known only by the locals for some of the best skiing in Canada. Our travel in the security of our four wheel drive vehicle between venues finds the true heart and culture of our hinterland towns and cities.

Steve is a champion of the lesser know hills throughout the province. All too often the big hills with the big advertising budgets dominate the industry. British Columbia's smaller hills and town settings offer some of the greastest opportunity to fully experience the human warmth of Canadian winters. And the snow conditions are some of the best in the world!

But this safari is not just about skiing.

GeoQwest clients tend not to seek out to set the first and last tracks on the mountain each day. They also want to know about the areas they visit and the people who live there. GeoQwest's intimate knowledge of the regions we visit provides exceptional cultural background. Our summer tours keep us current with the region. Some of our summer off pavement routes might be available for a distinctly unique winter travel opportunity between resorts.

So let us do the planning for your next ski trip to BC for a multi hill ski safari. We'll find those gems of the ski world that gives great skiing and authentic Canadian character in a way possible only with custom, personized touring.


We Turn Tourists into Travelers, Travelers into Adventurers, Adventurers into Explorers.
