Ep 114: Live for the Moment with Tanis Barkman

Not suitable for immature audiences. This podcast includes explicit content.

No conversation is ever boring with Tanis Barkman and this podcast at Sheep Week 2023 was no exception. Tanis is a free spirit and die-hard mountain hunting guide that has more stories than you can imagine. She talks about guide life, what got her there, why she stays and what her future plans include.

You may hear the odd expletive during this epic chat and you will certainly hear from someone that is passionate about being in the mountains. Tanis talks about her beginnings in Steinbach, Manitoba and about her celebrity chef shifts at the local sushi restaurant in Fernie. Having spent two years in Amsterdam, she discusses returning to Winnipeg and then getting the call from the mountains where she spent ten years snowboarding before catching the guiding bug.

Tanis is an incredibly accomplished guide and we discuss the evolution of women in the mountains.
