Mountain Guide Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I led a group of 8 clients on a multi-day alpine trek last season and kept the team steady through shifting weather. We carried our gear and itinerary across 40 kilometres of terrain, and I adjusted the plan when visibility dropped to protect everyone. It taught me to balance momentum with safety, and I’m keen to bring that cautious practicality to [Company Name]. My experience covers front-line guiding and the behind-the-scenes work that keeps trips smooth. I’m comfortable greeting members on arrival, running safety briefings, setting up and inspecting equipment, and maintaining daily activity logs. I’ve worked closely with teams on risk assessment and incident response, and I can explain gear use clearly to keep participants confident and engaged throughout the day. One memorable moment involved a sudden weather change on a high pass. We reassessed the route, regraded risk, allocated tasks to the group, and I coordinated first aid checks while we waited for conditions to improve. The outcome was that we avoided injury and completed the traverse safely. That incident underscored the importance of clear communication, accurate records, and keeping everyone informed. I’d like to bring my hands-on approach to [Company Name] and contribute to calm, well organised sessions. I’m available for a discussion at your convenience and can provide references from [Previous Company] on request. Kind regards, [Your Name]
