Born in the bustling city of Montreal, Oli learned to ski before he could walk. Raised in both French and English, he frequently guides ski touring trips in both languages. To keep things diverse, he also spends a good chunk of his winter heli-skiing in the Selkirk Mountains.

Before founding The Uptrack and subsequently Uptrack Guiding, Oli built a career as a mechanical engineer, trained to design complex systems, quantify risk, and make sound calls when the stakes are high. That discipline now underpins every trip he guides. As an ACMG-certified ski guide working out of Rogers Pass and the Revelstoke region, he brings a rigour to route planning, snowpack and terrain assessment that goes well beyond the industry standard. Technical competence is only half of the equation.

What makes a trip worth booking? The answer is hospitality: an attentiveness to the details that let you fully inhabit the mountain experience without friction. Considered meals, clear communication, and terrain matched to who you are as a skier or rider. Every trip is built with the same intentionality an engineer brings to a well-built system.

What ties it together is a genuine, enduring passion for the mountains of British Columbia and Alberta.
