go to ace white water online fill out an app. do a training program
ride down the upper and lower new a dozen times to learn the river get signed of by your guiding company, then your set. Ace probably trains the most new guides every season and they offer other off river jobs for slow days and the inexperienced guides. I might work for them this summer three or so days a week.

No offense, but that's why I go with Class VI. Very experienced guides who come back year after year during the upper Gauly release.
Last year a friend of mine partied with a guy from Ace 'til around 1:30 am. Got him totaly stoned and he had to get up the next day and guide the upper.
