Sharing the past and protecting the future.

We love the region we call home, and that is why we are so passionate about the stories and experiences that our mountains hold. The Fraser River forms the dividing line between the granite spires of the Cascade Mountains to the South and the East, and the glacier-packed Coastal Mountains to the North and West. This is our playground. Whether you are seeking solace in mossy old-growth forests or aspire to climb to the summit of one of our many iconic peaks, the Ascent Guides Team is here to make that experience happen and give you the tools to continue a life of exploring in the backcountry.

Meet the Team 

Kenrae, Cam, Sam and Dawson



Running a guiding operation as varied as Ascent's requires a lead team that is up for the challenge. We draw on the collective strength of our diverse backgrounds to put forward a truly unique offering of trips, courses and experiences in one of the world's great mountain playgrounds. It goes without saying that we are all avid mountain people, stealing away to the backcountry whenever we get the chance. Within Ascent, Cam heads up the guide team and brings a professional guide and educator perspective to everything that we do. Kenrae draws on her background in the snow sports industry and recreation programming to ensure that our operation run smoothly for clients and guides alike. Dawson shares his gift of creativity both behind the camera and through our storytelling in the community, showcasing some of the special moments that happen in the field. Sam's background in the outdoor recreation industry helps to shape the vision for Ascent and how it can best serve the outdoor community who lives in, and visits the Fraser Valley.
