"I have been guiding at the Lower Dean River Lodge since 2018. It's a special place and I feel lucky to be able to spend my summers there exploring the river. Being a fly fishing guide is rewarding because I get to show others around and share their excitement in the pursuit of the elusive steelhead. It's great to meet so many different people and share the love of fishing together. Plus, you get to spend your days in such a beautiful place."
"While I spent a little over 10 years chasing contests and spending most of my time in the terrain park, I grew up just skiing and exploring the mountain with my friends. We were always looking for fun lines through the trees, little jumps here and there, and on powder days, finding cliffs to jump off. The mountains at Great Bear felt a bit like my home mountain, just a lot bigger. And accessing them from a helicopter is a little different than a chairlift, though!"
Teal Harle has guided at the Lower Dean River Lodge since 2018, spending summers exploring the Dean River and guiding anglers after steelhead. Guiding provides reward through showing clients the river, sharing excitement for the elusive steelhead, and meeting diverse people while working in a scenic setting. Harle grew up in Campbell River and began skiing at Mount Washington before a slopestyle career that included the Olympics and X Games. He spent over a decade in terrain parks but also enjoyed exploring mountains, cliffs, and tree lines. Great Bear Heli Skiing offers powder and terrain reminiscent of his home mountain, accessed by helicopter rather than chairlift.
