Jeff Bullock
ACMG/IFMGA Mountain Guide
CAA Professional Member
Advanced Wilderness First aid
A life in the mountains became clear at a young age, growing up with the snowcapped peaks off in the distance Jeff was always wondering what adventures they hold. After discovering cross-country skiing, downhill skiing and snowboarding at young age of 12, the adventure discovery began.
Every opportunity was taken get back to the hills to climb or ski another route or line, learning the ropes of technical rope skills, steep rock & ice climbs and long ski traverses. This consumed Jeff through his early 20’s and in 2002 beginning the journey of becoming a fully certified ACMG/IFMGA mountain guide.
Over the next 7 years, Jeff dedicated his time and energy to training for guide’s exams and taking on many leadership roles. Starting with opportunities as assistant guide then lead guide for the Alpine Club of Canada GMC camps and section courses 2005-present, Last Frontier Heli skiing assistant operations manager 2008-2013 and most recently the Manager of Mountain Programs for the OC at the University of Calgary, 2013-2019. All of this said, still running and managing Alpine Air Adventures that to this day remains a leading high end mountain guiding company in the Canadian Rocky Mountains.
Jeff and his guiding team along with his family, Amy, Chloe & Kye look forward to meeting you and sharing this passion for adventure, which is found in the alpine air of the Canadian Rockies.

Christian grew up near Toronto, Ontario, far from any big mountains. After finishing a degree in Engineering Physics, he moved to Switzerland in 2011 and worked in solar panel research and development for 3 years. Living on the doorstep of the Alps, he quickly discovered climbing and backcountry skiing, something he pursued with intensity from the beginning. Most evenings were spent at the climbing gym or local crag, and every weekend in the mountains. One day, while climbing a classic winter mixed route above Chamonix, he clearly remembers deciding that he wanted to turn this passion into a career.
He moved to the Canadian Rockies in 2015 to explore a new area and pursue certification as a Mountain Guide. What he loves best about western Canada is the vast amount of space and the diversity of it’s mountain regions. From the wild and wet Coast range, to the dry Okanagan valley, to the towering peaks of the Rockies, he is passionate about exploring it all. When asked if he prefers climbing or skiing, he can’t decide. His goal is to instill this enthusiasm for the mountains in his guests. Christian is currently an ACMG Apprentice Alpine Guide and holds Level 2 certification with the Canadian Avalanche Association. He is both a Canadian and Swiss citizen and speaks French fluently.
