Fritz

Owner

Fritz immigrated to Canada with his young family 40 years ago. His family operated a couple award winning Dairy farms in Ontario and Manitoba for 22 years.

After moving to the Kootenays, Fritz took many guiding/avalanche/wilderness first aid courses and started guiding. He also owns/operates a Transportation Company out of Trail, providing a much needed inter-city bus route between the West Kootenay/Boundary region to Kelowna.

Outside of operating Silver City Stagelines his interests include family, backcountry ski touring, hiking, exploring the beautiful Kootenays, board games, and keeping things simple.

Assistant Manager

Benedikt Keller is a driver with deep roots in the Kootenay region and a lifelong connection to the road. The son of Fritz and the middle child of the family, he grew up across Canada, born in Ontario and spending time in Manitoba and British Columbia. He has also lived in Alberta and New Zealand for several years. These experiences have given him a broad familiarity with Western Canada and a strong sense of place, with the Kootenays remaining home.
With a background in hospitality, home security, and logistics, Benedikt brings a practical and people-focused approach to his work. He has traveled extensively throughout Western Canada and enjoys the rhythm and responsibility of driving, focused on making each journey smooth and reliable. Outside of work, his interests include board games, music, film, skiing, mountain biking, writing, and exploring, often drawn to hidden places and a bit of treasure hunting.

I always worked in the hotel and tourism industry and just love to hear peoples stories.
