Marty Schaffer is a certified Canadian ACMG ski guide, founder of CAPOW Guiding, and second-generation operator of Blanket Glacier Chalet near Revelstoke, BC. His parents bought the chalet just one month before he was born, so it has always been part of his life—and his family. Marty’s vision when creating a guiding company has always been to bring industry professionals and recreational skiers together for approachable, educational, and seriously good times in the mountains. Today, he splits his time between guiding, running a backcountry business, maintaining a remote mountain operation, and raising a young family with his wife, Kate. Given the choice, he’ll always opt for a human-powered ski adventure.
In DAYS OFF, Marty hosts host Katie at the Blanket Glacier Chalet for an extended weekend, showing what running a non-stop backcountry lodge looks like when managing kids and operation demands.
