OWNER
Brent is the owner of A/Z Mountain Adventures, and has been spent his entire life in the backcountry with horses. He is a talented bushman, horseman, and adventurer. Outside of work, he enjoys snowmobiling, riding, and doing anything outside!

OPERATIONS MANAGER

Kenzie has been our manager for nearly 10 years and has been an adventure guide since she was ten years old. She grew up in Invermere Valley but now lives ona farm near Bowden, AB during the winter. Since she grew up working for A/Z Outfitting, she was familiarized with guiding in the backcountry at an early stage. She decided when she was 16 to create a branch of the business suited more for beginners, and that’s when A Bar Z Mountain Adventures was born! Her other passions include rodeo, songwriting, creative writing and traveling.

BACKOUNTRY MANAGER

We would not be able to do what we do without Shelbey! This firey 26 year old is here for her second season of guiding. Whether it’s packing a diamond hitch, fixing fences, or managing a string of horses throughout our territory- she always gets the job done. Shelbey spends her fall-spring months guiding for us, and the rest of her time is spent doing other mountainous sports such as skiing/snowboarding, hiking, mountain biking and playing her guitar.

We’re looking forward to another successful adventure season with you Shelbey!

BACKCOUNTRY GUIDE

Kaitlin has been a long time family member! We call her family because when you grow this close to someone over 9 years, there isn’t anything else to call them. Kaitlin guided in the back country for many years for Brent, and has many crazy stories. These days Kaitlin is a farrier in central Alberta. She comes back every spring and summer to shoe all the trail horses- up to 30 horses! She is a very hard worker and we have been very blessed to get to watch her expand her knowledge over the last *almost* decade!

TRAIL GUIDE

Jessica is in her second year guiding trail rides with us! She is part time this year, while working at the Panorama Resort and taking her real estate licensing course! She is a very hard worker who also loves to kick back and relax on the lake. Jess is originally from Ontario, having moved to the mountains four years ago. We are very glad she made the move as we love having her bubbly personality around!

TRAIL GUIDE

Carter joined us 4 years ago! Hard to believe this is their 4th year guiding trail rides with us. Carter is a local boy,having grown up in the Invermere/Radium area. He is an outstanding worker and wonderful with horses and clients. He also enjoys roping, sledding in the back country and being outdoors as much as possible! This guy is one tough cookie!

TRAIL GUIDE
Ryan sure is a hard worker, and a great honor to have on the team. Ryan is on his 4th season as a trail guide with us. His first two summers were volunteering and working part time, but now he’s in full swing! He may be one of the younger members, but don’t count him out- he is an avid roper, bull rider, and more. He team ropes alongside his brother, Carter.

Wilma is our canine team member. Wilma is an eight year old Drahthaar. There is nothing Wilma loves more than going on a backcountry trip, whether that is a day ride or a 5 day overnight trip! Well maybe snacks. Or meeting new people. Or lounging in the sun. Okay, maybe Wilma loves every aspect of life, but that is why we love her so much. She is the perfect dog to have by your side in the mountains.
