Expert Guidance on Vancouver Island Terrain
Chasing an FKT? Planning a multi-day trek? Elevate your mountain fitness with expert guidance and in-depth knowledge of Vancouver Island’s unique terrain. Reach new heights—both on the trails and beyond!
While we’re based on Vancouver Island, we train athletes all across BC, with extensive knowledge of Sea to Sky area mountain terrain as well. We aim to make your training as fun as it is effective. For longer weekend training sessions, we incorporate mountain adventures that align with your progression. This could mean tackling a specific trail, summiting a particular peak, or focusing on climbing areas and routes that match your goals. Whether you’re preparing for a challenging alpine traverse or looking to improve your climbing skills, we tailor every session to your needs. This hands-on, adventure-driven approach is at the heart of the VI Mountain Training philosophy: practical, personalized, and purpose-built to get you ready for the mountains.
Why Train with Us?
What Our Athletes Say
“Living in Victoria presents obvious challenges for ski traverse training, but my coach Jordan created a fully custom plan that fit into my work schedule. He provided creative ways to train locally and recommended fantastic ski touring areas on the Island. On weekends when avalanche conditions were high, he suggested great trail running routes to keep me progressing.”
““I’ve always wanted to hike the West Coast Trail and tackle my first solo multi-day backpacking trip, and VI Mountain Training made all the difference. They helped me build the endurance and strength I needed while offering practical advice on gear and trip planning. The flexible training sessions allowed me to practice carrying a fully loaded pack on rugged local trails, and by the time I set out, I felt completely prepared and confident. It was an incredible experience, and I’m already planning my next solo adventure with their guidance!””
