Born in Mont Tremblant, Quebec, Canada in 1974, Jean-Francois Plouffe  (JF)  is a Canadian adventurer who has been living in Squamish, British Columbia for the last 25 years, where he works as a presenter, expedition leader, teacher, and mentor specializing in mountaineering, ski alpinism, big mountain skiing, ice climbing, rock climbing, canyoneering, paddle boarding, and safety and emergency procedures.

JF has more than 25 years of experience in the international outdoor guiding and instruction industry. JF has climbed summits from the Yukon to the Himalayas and rafted and kayaked rivers around the world. His strength lies in leading expeditions across all aspects and environments that Mother Nature provides.
