James grew up in Rossland, BC – a small ski town nestled in the West Kootenays of British Columbia. When he was 18, a few of his friends invited him on a weekend climbing trip to Squamish, and before he knew it he was hooked! In the years since, his passion for mountain sports has led him to climb and ski all around western Canada. He has also been on more remote adventures including ski touring in Iceland and putting up new routes in Baffin Island.
Today, he lives in Canmore AB, and is working his dream job sharing his love for the mountains as an ACMG Apprentice Alpine Guide.
We appreciate that the lands known today as Canada are home to the enduring presence of all First Nations and Métis people, and the Inuit and we acknowledge the past, present, and future generations of these Nations who continue to lead us in stewarding this land, as well as honour their knowledge and cultural ties to this place. The Alpine Club of Canada’s head office is located in the traditional lands of Treaty 7, which is comprised of the Stoney Nakoda Nations of Wesley, Chiniki, and Bearspaw; three Nations of the Blackfoot Confederacy: the Piikani, Kainai, and Siksika; the Mountain Cree; and the Tsuu T’ina of the Dene people. This territory is also shared with the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region III. Before the signing of Treaty 7, and prior to the establishment of provincial boundaries, this region was also used by the Ktunaxa and the Maskwacis people.
