I had the pleasure to have Gary as an instructor for Endless Tuition - 2 days per week. He is humble, personable and just an all around great guy. He never makes you feel incompetent instead gives you the confidence to tackle this mountain. A true genuine person and dedicated to helping others excel.

Gary is an absolute Beauty!!! he coach myself and 3 fellow Ski Patrollers for a week and was incredible. His attitude is contagious and his passion for skiing is known from the first moment you meet him. I can't say enough how wonderful of a teacher he is. He knows how to give you constructive feedback without overloading you and explains it in ways that are easily understandable. MOST OF ALL THIS GUY IS A TON OF FUN TO BE AROUND. A first class instructor and a first class guy. A true local with a ton of experience and finds a challenging spot without making you ever feel out of your element.
I had Gary for my first ever ski lesson 4 years ago, it was quite daunting for me being my first time on ski's and being in my late 20s, getting injured was playing heavy on my mind, when I should have been having fun. My first day was nerve wrecking to say the least, as sliding down a steep hill in a controlled manner (even the cat tracks were too steep for me) did not come naturally at all. I knew if I wanted to ski I needed help, this is where Gary's expertise and extensive knowledge of Kicking Horse mountain came into play. As I was only concentrating on staying alive, Gary was coaching and guiding me safely down the mountain but ensuring that I was having fun and enjoying the view all the while, reassuring and encouraging me and even helped me get over my frustrating inability to do a right turn, he had me controlling my speed and avoiding the trees in no time. His excitement and enthusiasm for skiing the 'pow' is contagious, and I have enjoyed skiing at kicking horse and meeting Gary on the slopes ever since, with no injuries to date. Thanks Gary.
I was an Endless Tuition student at Kicking Horse with Gary Jolivet for 3 seasons. He was a tremendous coach, with a genuine passion for student improvement and for the sport. He loves skiing and Kicking Horse Mountain Resort, that enthusiasm and energy shows in everything he does. It’s contagious! He knows the mountain like the back of his hand, highly recommend him.
Do not hesitate, Gary is a great ski instructor and guide. I had Gary as instructor for years, he is serious, disiplined and fun to ski with. Security is always a priority with him. I improved my skiing a lot with Gary because he constantly cared about my learning. Merci Gary.
