Banff

Loved his tour and the beautiful scenery!

Great skiing trip, He’s so knowledgeable and professional and always try’s to get the best experience for us viewers

Patrick is the perfect person to share his beautiful home town with. He is so friendly and engaging with his interaction with us viewers. I was really impressed with the way he read and then answered all of our questions and comments whilst mid flow. Superb well done Patrick! The Lake Louise resort is also truly breathtaking. I was there were more trips ‘on the move’ like this one! Thank you, cracking idea to take us skiing with you.

Can't get enough of this beautiful place. Wonderful tour with Patrick

I enjoyed the ski trip today.  Patrick is very easy going and knowledgeable about the area.  I have been to Banff many times but it was my first from a skiers Pont of view. 

if i could give this 10 i would,my favourite tour ever so far,so much fun skiing with patrick,beautiful location,lovely scenery,all patricks tours are good but this was best ever,its a must do tour

Great ski trip down the mountain! Thanks, Patrick for taking us with you. Your knowledge and love of this area was evident - what a thrill to see it.

Inspirational on skis! Will never tire of his tours. Many many more please. 

Although I haven't been able to ski the last couple of years, I have skied many times at Lake Louise. Thank you for bringing back wonderful memories . I could actually smell that spring mountain air. 

Actually a 10 star ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I look forward to many more of your amazing tours🌟

Loved skiing with you! Wish I was there and could go for some apres ski vin chaud .

Always a delight to go skiing with Patrick!

I love the ski trips! I’m not brave enough to do it in person but “sitting in Patrick’s backpack” gives me the confidence to ski! Wonderful scenery, stories and yes even the sad jokes make it fabulous and worth repeating over and over

Grateful to be able to almost feel as if I'm skiing with you.  Something I can't ever do myself.   Amazing views! 

Great as always.  I wasn't expecting a ski run and chairlift ride but it was an awesome experience.  Somethingvi will never experience in real life.  Loved it

Patrick is so pleasant & easy to listen to, thoroughly enjoyed the tour!

I loved this skiing experience with Patrick so much. A great tour with a great guide. Thank you. 

The ski jump was a little scary without a helmet... lol

Wow! This was an amazing tour.  The nearest I'll ever come to going up a mountain and skiing back down. Spectacular. 

If I could give higher than a 5, I would! Patrick showed us the beauty and awe of the mountains and gave us a wow-experience with his dexterous skiing skills. Thank you for the feeling of surprise/spontaneity! :)


Patrick is an excellent tour guide and very informative 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Skiing the Lake Louise area was so awesome, I have never been skiing before and this gave me a taste of what it is like. The ski lift to the top was great, the views awe inspiring, great tour. Thank you Patrick

that was really fun! and such a beautiful area. Thanks very much Patrick, I will now be looking for more of your tours

Perfection!   Nothing on this tour could have been better❣️

Skiing in the stunning Rockies with Patrick. It doesn’t get better than this. What an Amazing trip. Love love love it 😍 

Awesome! If you can’t ski Louise for yourself, it’s great to catch a ride with Patrick. Funny, engaging, informative and a great skier to boot. 

Brought back such great memories of my skiing adventures- sadly no more! Thanks Patrick- see you again. 

Ok, I do not ski. I have never skied and I don't intend ever to try it. But, holy moly did I enjoy this tour!!! I did not book it in advance, I just scrolled through the tour calendar spontaneously and thought: "Banff. Nice. Let's go to Banff!" without reading the tour description. I was surprised to find "myself" on skies but I LOVES it!

Always great fun, being out with Patrick!  Always a smile, though sometimes through a mask. Thoroughly enjoyed remembering old times, skiing in great conditions with Patrick.
Great guy!

How exciting! The first time I have tried  "skiing" and on a perfect day in the magnificent Canadian Rockies and all from the comfort of my sofa. A fabulous tour from Patrick.

So enjoy your adventures.  This one, skiing downhill with you was a great and different way to learn about the beautiful Lake Louise area. So nice to see the people out and enjoying nature!

Very enjoyable tour.  I will check out some of your other tours and try to join you.


Amazing tour skiing down the mountain with Patrick

Patrick. I love your energy! I don't ski anymore, so I feel like I went skiing!!! Wonderful! 

Another excellent trip from Patrick with some wonderful skiing downhill and fantastic scenery. Patrick is excellent when it comes to connecting and chatting with people. You are always sure of a warm welcome and a good trip. He puts so much effort into his trips to ensure that everyone has a good experience.

Another great trip with Patrick in the Rockies.

Spectacular scenery and a lovely guide. Many thanks

Absolutely amazing tour, Patrick is so enthusiastic and entertaining, I can't wait to watch his next tour.

Loads of fun, and breathtaking views!  I’ll miss skiing with Patrick when the snow melts!

Loved the trip down the hill! Skiing with Patrick is the next best thing to being there. He makes EVERY trip unique, and when I'm actually able to be there in person I'll have a solid foundation on the history and geology of the Canadian Rockies. Look forward to traveling more with him.

Who'd have thought you could experience the exhilaration of skiing through a virtual experience, but I found myself holding my breath and feeling nervous as Patrick expertly made his way up the charts and back down the slopes. Thank you Patrick for bringing us this experience.

So wonderful to be out on a mountain again - I really miss skiing, having stopped 3 years ago. As a skier I know how difficult it must have been controlling skis, gimbel and giving a commentary at the same time. Thank you Patrick for a much needed breath of fresh air. Unfortunately the tipping wouldn't work, but  will tip double next time I join you!

Great tour! Fun with beautiful views and a little adrenaline . 
What an amazing Guide,
 Time flies with him

What a brilliant idea for a virtual trip - I've never been ski-ing and I'm never likely to, but this was the next best thing, and in such expert hands.

Another excellent tour with Patrick. Absolutely loved following him up on the chair lift & then the ski down - so much fun!

Skiing from my own living room with a coffee. I was bending my knees but couldn’t stop this tour lol. Patrick is excellent at what he does as a tour guide.  Very enjoyable, and would recommend his tours to everyone.  Of course the scenery is beautiful, but that goes without saying really.  Banff definitely on my bucket list of places to go.  

I love Patrick's tours and this skiing trip was just the best. To be able to travel back to the Rockies so often is beyond my wildest dreams. Thank you Patrick for your ingenuity.

First skiing trip with Patrick ... WOW! Just love his tours. That was amazing and a MUST-DO! Can’t wait for next trip 😀

Fantastic to be skiing down Lake Louise....and no falls...lol 

What an experience. So exciting to be going down the mountain on skies. I wish I was not too old and out of shape to try it! Thanks for the trip down

I am not a skier, but it was wonderful to watch Patrick.  The scenery was beautiful.  Patrick was warm, friendly and very personable.  Thanks again.

I don’t know how I can finish a day without on of these visits to Alberta. The skiing runs are so awesome. Great Job Patrick! I learn so much when I am on one of these adventures.

Brilliant.  Hope to join you again soon

Brilliant  Hope to join you again soon








OMG, that was amazing! I've never been on skis before and Patrick made it an absolutely terrific experience.

Fantastic, exhilarating trip. I loved it!

Spectacular scenery and a tour that went downhill - in the best possible way: on skis! Brilliant.

Patrick's tours are always good fun, professional and friendly and interesting.  

a lot safer than my own attempts at skiing but unfortunately had to leave early as I'd forgotten I was hosting a zoom call at the same time! I'll have to rebook...

Patrick is an extremely knowledgeable natural guide and the town of Banff is charming with breathtaking vistas!  

Fantastic!  What a tour!!  I would never have the ability to ski so this was amazing.  I even opened my eyes on the chair lift!  To top the skiing, the views were stunning too.   Thank you for sharing your knowledge (and your jokes!).

Another great tour “skiing “ with you Patrick.  Loved the experience, it is a lot of fun.  When all of this is over and we can travel, we will visit you in Banff or take one of your world tours.  Gracias Patrick and thank you VT.

First time on a ski lift!!! I’ve never been skiing, and can understand why now!! However Patrick was a star. He showed us beautiful views and allowed us to take amazing postcards.

what a unique way to see a tour....without the risk of injuries!!!!  lol.  Would have been nice to see some of the apres ski or chalet, lodge if it were allowed.

Super fun tour guide and skiing tour! I loved whooshing down the mountain with him. I hope to go on some of his other tours.

I've done a few of Patrick's tours now and this one was my favourite. Skiing down the slopes was so much fun! Informative as ever, really recommend any of Patrick's tours!

Not my favourite activity ... unless Patrick is doing all the skiing ... then I love it!!  Thank you Patrick for a brilliant 2nd ski with you ... and looking forward to other trips in the months ahead 

I loved skiing with Patrick! I can't anymore so this brought  back memories.

Beautiful and majestic.   Love the experience!

What an exciting adventure with Patrick this evening skiing down a mountain in Banff.  Oh my did I enjoy myself.  Patrick is so funny.  He tells the worst jokes you could imagine but you still end up in stitches laughing.  The scenery around Banff is spectacular and Patrick has so much information to share.  Love his tours and can't wait for the next one.  

Patrick is very clearly in his element on the slopes, showing off the Canadian Rockies and teaching us about skiing with this creative and thrilling tour. SO MUCH FUN!! 

A tour with views of absolutely breathtakingly beautiful scenery, thrillingly presented by our guide on skis! I loved the chairlift and the skiing, and the picture was incredibly steady throughout, with many opportunities for stunning photos. Wonderful! Thank you Patrick.

That was the best tour I have ever had.  So thrilling, wonderful guide.

Absolutely incredible how Patrick took us virtual skiing! That was as closer as I've been to being on the ski slopes. Great job of skiing, talking to us and keeping himself and the equipment safe! Highly recommend this tour. 

Patrick is a great tour guide - he is personable, knowledgeable, and fun.  I enjoy his tours so much!

The views were spectacular, the weather was gorgeous, the skiing was exhilarating and our guide was first class!!!!   Patrick is so good he can give a tour while navigating a world class mountain on skis!!!!  

Really fun tour! Loved skiing with Patrick. Amazing views. 

Never thought I would see the trails of L Louise again ... horrific ankle break. I still vividly recall one long run (5 mile) - swish of the skis, the quiet, the view. Thxs

Amazing!! Fabulous tour. Thank you so much

I am fast running out of words to describe how exhilarating and fun these tours are with Patrick! One day we are climbing up mountain paths and learning about bears and cougars, then next we are speeding down the ski slopes with him!  When I first learned of this platform, and began exploring places to visit, I never imagined I would have such interesting and exciting experiences. Patrick does it all with such style, warmth, and genuine friendliness.  His tours are a treat! 😍
