Having grown up in Banff
Alberta, Kir had mountains and climbing in her blood from a young age.
By the time she was 18 she had climbed many of the classic peaks in the
Canadian Rocky Mountains, giving her a head start on becoming a
mountain guide. At the age of 25, Kir became the fifth woman and
youngest fully certified mountain guide in Canada. Kir has been a part
of the Island Lake Resort Group for over 10 years. In 2000 she took
over mountain management of Powder Cowboy Catskiing and is now the
operations manager. Her mountain experience is matched only by her love
of people and guiding.
