Dave Bugden

CSIA Level IV, ACA Level III (Performance Level), Canadian Ski Guide Association – Fully Certified, CSIA Course Conductor

Dave’s infatuation with competition and speed began at an early age - racing kids down the streets on their ”big wheels.” In his teens, a neighbour took him skiing for the first time - realizing he could combine the two - Dave’s winter passion was born.

To support and share his passion, Dave started instructing and coaching - which kept him busy from coast to coast. Some of Dave's roles over the years have included - Snow School Director, Program Coordinator, Cat-ski Guide, Course Conductor and Head Coach for the Nova Scotia Canada Games Team.

More than three decades later, Dave remains committed to helping others develop and pursue their own ski passion.

Currently Dave is creating a new “All Mountain” program that develops skills across three competitive skiing disciplines, volunteers as a High school ski race coach and works with Alpine Canada in developing the next generation of passionate ski race coaches.

In the off season, Dave can be seen cruising on the back roads or the waters of Northumberland Strait and encouraging his family and friends to find their passion for sport and speed.
