“Our team is super proud of our guide on scene,” said Great Canadian Tours in a Facebook post on Monday night about the incident.

After a day of riding, snowmobile guide Olivier Meilleur’s crew was heading back to the Boulder Mountain Cabin to start the ride down the mountain when they spotted a group who had their probes out.
