Arc'teryx Presents: Stepping Out

In the mountains, like in life, most days are not perfect. But for ACMG Splitboard guides Christine Feleki and Joey Vosburgh, it’s their job to make each of their 150+ days a year in the mountains meaningful. Working as a guide is a non-stop grind of managing uncertainty, prioritizing safety, and finding time in between to hone skills and techniques in a constantly evolving field. It’s also the best job in the world - they’ll tell you that. To strive for longevity as a guide requires a deep knowledge of avalanche safety and risk assessment, but equally important is a constant emphasis on self-reflection and growth. This year, they ventured in a corner of the Selkirk Range that Joey’s been eyeing for years, working their way through variable conditions, reflecting on their journeys, and stepping into uncertainty with an open mind. Despite the physical and mental challenges, discover why they call it "the most exhilarating job in the world," fueled by the puzzle of the mountains and the joy of a perfect day. Step into their world and see what it truly takes to make each day in the mountains meaningful.
