Welcome to Crystalline Backcountry Guides. My name is Mo Rasiah, owner and guide. Skiing has been my profession since 1998. I am a fully certified Ski Guide and Ski Instructor.I have spent the last 2 decades exploring the worlds’ mountains on skis, with a special emphasis around my home of Whistler BC, the Andes of Argentina and Chile, and Japan.

In addition to running private trips with Crystalline Backcountry Guides, I also guide heli-skiing, ski touring, teach avalanche courses and skiing. Some of the reputable companies i continue to work for include PowderQuest Tours, Whitecap Alpine, Aurora Backcountry, and Whistler Heliskiing.

What Clients Say

Very best opinions

"Mo and I have guided and instructed ski guiding courses together for the past 10 years. I am always impressed by his care for his guests, his depth of knowledge and attention to detail. If things don’t go as planned, I can always count on his laugh and pragmatic approach to put things in perspective."
Vlad Lamoureux
"Mo has guided me on countless ski adventures on 3 continents for almost a decade. His customer service is exemplary and I have seen him go out of his way time and again to satisfy his clients without hesitation. On the mountain, he is always cheerful and positive. He has always clearly done his homework beforehand and finds us the best skiing available while putting safety first. He has that rare ability to be a confident leader while at the same time, you feel like you are skiing with a close friend. I give him my highest recommendation and he would be my first choice to guide me in the backcountry every time."
Dr. Ronald Sperber
"8+ ski trips on 3 continents with Mo! And I can't wait to add more trips and locations. He is meticulous in choosing our backcountry adventures - matching skills, expectations, terrain and weather to create the most memorable day!

He encourages you to safely challenge yourself so you get the most out of the moment. Mo is not only a great guide, but a mentor and a friend. Thank you Mo, I have gained so much from all our adventures. Oh and did I mention he has the most contagious smile!"
