This is Mountain Escapes, brought to you by the Backcountry Lodges of BC Association. Today we’re joined by Jan Neuspiel — longtime mountain guide, former owner of Island Alpine Guides on Vancouver Island, and the newly minted Program Coordinator for the Mountain Professional Critical Incident Stress Management Team. Welcome back, Jan.

Jan’s career spans decades in the mountains, from trekking and mountaineering in Nepal to heli-ski operations in the Indian Himalaya, leadership roles with Bella Coola Helisports, and co-founding the Vancouver Island Avalanche Centre Society. He’s also a peer responder with the Mountain Professional CISM Team and a recognized leader in mountain safety, with awards from both HeliCat Canada and the ACMG.

His personal adventures include a ski-mountaineering circumnavigation of Denali, a solo ascent of Pumori, traverses of the Wrangell–St. Elias Range, and a single-day ascent of Mount Asgard.
