So either next year or the year after I plan on taking a year off from Colby College and I'm trying to get involved in ski guiding. I've seen two different courses offered, one from Haines heli skiing and the other from H2O guided skiing in both Alta and Haines. I was wondering what you guys recommended in terms of where to get started. Also i'm trying to do the NOLS semester in Patagonia up until early december so it would have to be after that. Let me know.

Give TGR a try- they might have better knowledge on this given the age/type of skiing population of NS.
