Adventure guide, MOUNTAIN enthusiast

Hi! My name is Yan Brousseau.

I’m your adventure guide, but first and foremost, a mountain enthusiast. My story is rooted in the Swiss and Canadian peaks.

My love for the mountains comes from my grandfather Ulysse (the typical Swiss mountaineer!), with whom I shared moments that will forever be etched in my memory.

From the age of 2, I spent my days on the slopes with my mother, accompanying her to the ski school where she worked.

At 9, I bought my first snowboard and in 1995, at the age of 16, I left Quebec for Switzerland to pursue my professional snowboarding career.

Thanks to the world of competition, I was able to travel the globe while practicing my greatest passion.

After my sports career, I had the opportunity to work in the snowboarding industry for one of the key players at the time (Rossignol Snowboards) to develop and evolve the sport.

Always loving to take on new challenges, I decided to go back to school and became a firefighter at the age of 28.

Today with MTE, I continue to push the limits and explore the mountains that I introduce to you with passion.

TESTAMONIALS

« I am the kind of person who always believes they can do everything on their own. However, in the mountains, experience is gained slowly.

Your thorough knowledge of the terrain, your professionalism, and your ability to understand each person's level created a safe and exciting experience.

Each descent was an intense adventure, and your passion for the mountains was contagious. An unforgettable experience thanks to an exceptional guide. »

What an adventure you gave us!

Your passion for freeriding and your knowledge of this iconic mountain allowed us to truly discover Verbier!

Without you, we wouldn't have discovered any of the slopes, villages, restaurants, and mountain bars we visited.

Going there without you is like not really going there... Best ski trip ever!!! Will be back soon, my friend!
