NIKI LEPAGE
Niki is an ACMG Ski Guide and CAA Professional Member, holding a certification of 80hr Wilderness First Aid.
Niki moved to the mountains in 1987, with the aspiration of becoming a ski bum. Not long after, she started her career in the avalanche industry, landing a job as a ski patroller at Lake Louise Ski Resort in 1990. From there, she went onto work with Alberta Parks in Kananaskis, where she become involved with their Avalanche Forecasting and Public Safety programs.
Niki's guiding career begun in 1998, when she attained her ACMG badge, and since then, she's worked as a backcountry and mechanized ACMG Ski Guide, with many seasons under her belt at Island Lake Lodge and recently having joined our Team here at Cloud Nine Guides.
Beyond the times spent in the mountains, Niki's made her home in Canmore with her husband Paul and their dog. She loves collecting beautiful rocks from all of her adventures that allow her mind to wander back to those places and the good times spent therein.

I did the AST 2 course with Cloud Nine Guides. Niki and Satu were great guides. I learnt a lot and feel much more equipped for ski touring. We also did some great skiing on the course!
