Meet Our Guides
We are a group of Calgary-based fitness leaders and enthusiasts, offering guided snowshoeing & cross-country skiing, hiking tours, snowboarding and downhill skiing packages for beginners and intermediates. Some people think winter is no fun, but we think it is so fun, so let’s get outside and have SNOW-FUN!
Garry Simpson
Founder, Snowshoe guide
SnowfunYYC was born out of a desire to share a passion for fitness, the great outdoors and a dream of making the mountains more accessible. I look forward to guiding you on your next excursion!
Shawna Tiefenthaler
Founder, Snowshoe guide
Having been a competitive athlete for a dozen years before starting a family, then discovering dance (ballroom and latin), Shawna is passionate about movement and connection.
Growing up in Fort McMurray gave her an appreciation for the great outdoors in all seasons. She believes that there is beauty to be found in all weather, so long as you dress for it!
She loves the forest, the mountains, her hubby and 6 kids, but not Chinooks. She is looking forward to spending more time having Snowfun this winter, and you might catch her snowshoeing with her youngest on her back!

Hello, i am enthusiastic to share my appreciation for the outdoors with every trip. Being outside and experiencing the nature around us helps create joyful memories, and using the the mountain views helps us to unwind. I believe being outside creates some of the most valuable moments in life but the motivation to make time for ourselves and coordinate plans can get lost. I hope to inspire attendees to accept the endless opportunities we have to enjoy being outside. Trying new sport activities with different types of people. To gain perspective and a sense of community is what I'm all about!
