In the mountains, like in life, most days are not perfect. But for ACMG Splitboard guides Christine Feleki and Joey Vosburgh, it’s their job to make each of their 150+ days a year in the mountains meaningful. Working as a guide is a non-stop grind of managing uncertainty, prioritizing safety, and finding time in between to hone skills and techniques in a constantly evolving field. It’s also the best job in the world – they’ll tell you that. To strive for longevity as a guide requires a deep knowledge of avalanche safety and risk assessment, but equally important is a constant emphasis on self-reflection and growth. This year, they ventured in a corner of the Selkirk Range that Joey’s been eyeing for years, working their way through variable conditions, reflecting on their journeys, and stepping into uncertainty with an open mind.
