Erin has been guiding with us for many years. She comes to us from Ottawa, Ontario, where she spends as much time outdoors as possible with her pup Nanuk, hiking, paddling, biking and skiing! Growing up in the country gave her an early appreciation for nature, adventure and exploring. Her favourite after-work activities always take her into the forest, onto the slopes or along a river. A dog walker by day, she developed her guiding and leadership skills teaching with the Air Cadet program, running her own adventure sport company, Ripple Adventure and as a life long ski instructor. She loves connecting with each member of a trip, learning about the history, flora and fauna and communities of the places she travels and will likely have an additional reference book or two crammed into her barrel.
