Jordan Lenham
Lead Coach and ACMG-Certified Guide
Originally from the UK and now a proud citizen of Canada for over 14 years, Jordan Lenham has spent more than 15 years guiding and coaching in the mountains. Jordan’s journey in mountain sports began with his deep passion for the outdoors and dedication to physical fitness, leading him to become an ACMG-certified guide and a specialist in mountain sports training.

With a BA Hons, Degree in Sports Development & Outdoor Education, and also as registered personal trainer since 2011, Jordan has a strong foundation in both the science and practice of mountain training. Over the years, he’s competed in ultra-marathons, SkyRunning world Series, and even won the Canadian Cheese Rolling Championship in 2014.
