Scott Newsome VP Operations

The Board of Directors of Eagle Pass Heliskiing are excited to announce that Mr. Scott Newsome, who most recently held the position Director of Snowboard Operations and Media Manager, is Eagle Pass Heliskiing’s new Vice President of Operations.

Scott brings a wealth of experience, energy, enthusiasm, drive, passion and love of the sport.

Scott Newsome has been cited in over fifty different articles as “the guide for the NEW Generation of backcountry skiers and snowboarders.” His accomplishments include time as a professional snowboarder, the first ever ACMG certified ski guide on a split board snowboard and an extensive guiding career. His highly successful career as a backcountry guide at heliski resorts in Canada and Alaska as well as his extensive experience in the sports film industry as the go-to guide for top athletes like Nicolas Muller, Jeremy Jones and Travis Rice are what sets Scott apart from the crowd. A long way apart. In 2010 when the FRENDS crew wanted to go heliboarding for the first time they sought out Scott Newsome and came to Eagle Pass.

Scott has been integral to Eagle Pass since the new ownership team took over in December of 2010. He has worked in the ski/snowboard industry for 18 years, starting in 1983 at Lake Louise in Banff National Park. Scott has worked at a number of resort and spent time guiding as the cat skiing resort his family owned in Revelstoke, Cat Powder. He was instrumental in bringing the Tailgate BC event to Revelstoke and setting up Eagle Pass Helsiskiing’s first heliboard week, among many other accomplishments. Scott is sought out by many guides in the industry and has been integral in building one of the best guiding pools any company has to offer their clientele. Eagle Pass’s guiding roster has over 150 combined years of guiding experience.

We are very excited to have him on our team and pleased to announce this well-deserved promotion.

Thank you,

Eagle Pass Heliskiing
