BV Ski Guides is an independent guiding service led by AMGA Certified Ski Guide Blake Votilla. Based in the Teton Range of Jackson Hole, Wyoming, we bring over 15 years of experience guiding powder skiing and ski mountaineering in the Tetons and around the world.

Our passion for the mountains extends far beyond our home range — each year we travel internationally in search of unforgettable outdoor adventures. From deep local powder days to ambitious ski mountaineering objectives in remote corners of the globe, our goal is simple: to create safe, memorable, and inspiring mountain experiences tailored to every guest. We work with all ages, abilities, and group types — from solo travelers to families — to ensure each trip is the right fit for your goals and comfort level.

Blake has been leading groups in the outdoors since his college days at the University of Montana, where he served as president of the UM Outdoor Club. Following that, he cut his teeth in professional guiding with renowned service RMI, leading expeditions on Mt. Rainier and Denali. During this time, Blake honed his skills through notable first descents and ambitious ski mountaineering endurance efforts, all while working toward his Ski Guide Certification through the American Mountain Guides Association.

Fast forward to today — Blake is an AMGA Certified Ski Guide, a full-time ski guide for Exum Guides in the Tetons, the founder of the Jackson Hole Ski and Snowboard Club’s Backcountry Program (a one-of-a-kind initiative educating local youth ages 10–18 on backcountry skiing and avalanche safety), and the lead guide at BV Ski Guides.

With his extensive network, worldwide experience, and a proven track record of creating custom trips, BV Ski Guides is ready to help you plan and enjoy your next unforgettable skiing adventure.
