Arctos Guides

Arctos Guides has been offering guided backcountry skiing since 2017 in Slocan, British Columbia. The etymology of Arctos stems from Ancient Greece and refers to the Ursa Major constellation and the northern celestial sphere. Ursus Arctos Horibilis, the grizzly bear, reigns in forests and mountains in which we operate. It seemed reasonable to honour this majestic species by naming the company after it. Arctos Guides’ mission is to provide safe, fulfilling mountain adventures for our guests year round in BC and beyond.
