We work with mountain athletes to ensure that they keep doing what they love at a high level.

These are some of the mountain athletes that we’ve worked with. They live to be in the mountains, channeling the spirit of the ibex.

How we work with our mountain athletes

One-on-one coaching for mountain athletes with regular check-ins and updates

The Ibex Project Performance Coaching Program is for athletes who want to take their training to the next level and dial in to the nuances of their own body. If you have nagging issues, impactful injuries, or simply want more individualized coaching, this program is for you. 

Performance Coaching

All-access self-guided training plans that are sport-specific to help you perform better in the mountains.

The All-Access Training Plans are a self-guided remote training platform that provides structure, intention, and progression in your training. Monthly membership gives you access to all of our programs, each crafted in a sport-specific manner.

All Access Training Plans

When we have been away from the mountains for too long, we get antsy and go a little crazy ourselves. We get it!

We have combined our physio backgrounds with our experience as high-performing mountain athletes so that we can help others stay healthy and push themselves further on the mountain.

Meet the Team

Don Lesar

Don Lesar

Don belongs in the hills: rock climbing, splitboarding, mountain biking, trail running, camping, and anything that keeps him active in nature. Don acts as a rehabilitation and performance consultant for both the Arc’teryx Global Athlete Team and the Guide Team for Selkirk Tangiers Heli Skiing. With a heavy emphasis on education and tailored mobility, strength, power and stability training plans, he can ensure his athletes perform their best and recover optimally.

Jess Mahler

Jess Mahler

Jess feels at home ripping down mountains on her snowboard or traversing up them, often avoiding the easiest line. Jess provides ongoing education on rehabilitation, recovery, performance development and training for the Arc’teryx athlete team and continues to collaborate on injury rehabilitation and performance development for their sky runners, climbers, and snowsport athletes.

  • The Ibex Project team's natural ability to shift from instructor, coach, teacher of anatomy/physiology, advisor and friend has been instrumental for my rehabilitation process. After working with them I can definitively say that I have never felt such empowerment over my movement and ability to interpret my body’s signals to modulate my training- even while managing my current knee recovery.
