Pete Tashman

Chatter Creek Tail Gunner and ski area consultant, Pete Tashman
Pete Tashman has been involved with Chatter Creek for a number of years, either as a tail guide or as a consultant in the tenure application process. We don't have the "scoop" on Pete yet, but we believe that he was a backcountry guide in the US for a number of years and that he was responsible for obtaining the Mica Creek heli-skiing tenure. Pete Tashman left Mica Creek Heli-skiing last year and joined Chatter Creek as a full-time guide. We wonder if Pete still collects baseball cards.

The tail guide (or tailgunner) is last man down the hill, making sure no one is left behind and assisting anyone in difficulty. The tail guide is usually an assistant guide, a "guide in training" or a very experienced guide not having the full ACMG guides accreditation.
