Guiding
When skiing the big mountains, having a guide is an asset that immediately pays dividends for your experience—they know the best runs (and the least-known ones), can sniff out the best snow and will help fine-tune your skiing in the most challenging situations.
When not travelling for other reasons in the winter, Chad Sayers has been a longtime ski guide for Extremely Canadian at his home hill, Whistler-Blackcomb—leading skiers from around the world in experiencing the magic and adventure of the continent’s largest ski area. Sayers also guides private clinics in La Grave, France, as part of the Extremely Canadian World Tour Series.
Modeling
Modelling for outdoor brands isn’t easy—you can’t pretend you belong. And when it involves high-speed action, like skiing, this becomes an art. Not only do you require the physical abilities of a highly trained athlete, but the experience to hit a mark in motion and an understanding of the process of photography on snow—a medium unto itself.
With a portfolio of editorial and advertising work for numerous brands over his 25-year career, and thousands of images to his credit, Chad Sayers is one of the most photographed skiers of all time—a consummate professional who can bring any brand credibility.
Testimonials
With his longevity as a professional skier, adventurer and ski model, Chad Sayers holds an undisputed role as a living legend in the ski industry. Few skiers globally have worked harder to nail the shots for the top photographers in the industry, and that is why he still is a favourite athlete for many shooters. Sayers's style is powerful and stylish and if you want someone to hit that mark, he’s that guy.

"Chad is one of the hardest working athletes out there. But what really sets him apart is his passion for the search. He thinks in light and shadow, shape and movement, like a photographer. Chad is always dreaming, imagining, and in search of the ingredients for a beautiful, enduring image."
