Education

Our educational programs have fixed dates on the calendar that we schedule ahead of time.

  • AIARE

    Do you know when, where, and how to travel in the snow-covered mountains given the prevailing conditions? AIARE is the gold standard curriculum for decision-making in avalanche terrain and is what we teach.

  • Leave No Trace

    All people recreating in the outdoors can benefit from formal Leave No Trace education. You'll also improve your backpacking skills at the same time!

  • Wilderness Medicine

    Having a game plan for when something goes wrong is always important but in the case of medical emergencies, it's absolutely vital. Learning the patient assessment system will give you that game plan.

  • Thoughtful Itineraries

    Our approach is to tailor each trip to our guests' unique desires and backgrounds. Even when a specific objective is the goal, there are always new things to learn along the way. We will help you unlock new ways to be efficient, safe, and happy when recreating in the outdoors.

  • Professional Risk Management

    Our guides adhere to the AMGA's SOP when working in technical terrain which assures you that they work only in terrain for which they are trained to guide. This is slowly becoming the industry standard and we are proud to uphold this practice as the professionalism of mountain guiding in North America increases.
