Avalanche Education

Eric D went out of his way to ensure the full course syllabus was covered on this complex and potentially lifesaving topic. Repeat MSAA customer and continue to be very impressed with the service.

I took AST 1 from MSAA in Whistler – had a great time and learned a ton. Kurt and Tim were fantastic classroom instructors – direct, patient and not patronizing or bro-y. Rob was our instructor in the field and again, was super passionate about the subject and very clear with instruction, feedback and direction. He answered all questions thoroughly and made the experience relevant to each of our experience levels. I highly recommend the crew at MSAA – the office crew is awesome as well!! Thank you all!

Northeast Mountaineering and my guide Tony Powell were excellent. The AIARE 1 class was organized and professional, and Tony was a highly trained educator in avalanche terrain.

As a previous guide myself, I can tell you that these folks at NE Mountaineering have their instruction and teaching dialed. On day one we arrived at a fabulous classroom and the table was set(literally) for success. Every day we got a chance to not only learn in the classroom but take that outside the classroom to practice in real-time. Day 3 really put the icing on the cake for me when we were taken to a secret spot in the whites where we as guides lead a trip up and put all the information we learned that last couple of days together. Corey and Dave are superstars and wells of knowledge. I really enjoyed the small group learning and very interactive approach. They came prepared jazzed up and ready to send it every day. I will 110%be coming back for another Avalanche Rescue and Aiare 2 course.

The guides are terrific! Knowledgeable, confident, and extremely competent. They made my day. Overall, a great experience. I can’t wait to do it again!

I Learnt heaps from Jeff, highly recommend doing the avalanche safety course, I can’t speak for any of the other courses, but I’m sure they have the same level of professionalism.

I’ve been sport rock, trad rock, ice climbing, crevasse coursing and avalanche training through jeff for many years now. His knowledge of the Rockies is incredible and he brings a really light and fun atmosphere to a training environment every single time we are out. Jeff’s physical abilities and his “let’s do it” approach give me a huge peace of mind. There is never anyone else I would want to contact first to head out on a mountain adventure with

JHMG knows their stuff! My instructors provided a wealth of knowledge for us to learn from and an awesome attitude that kept everyone stoked.

Always professional, always personable, always safe, always considerate. They take the time to develop a plan with the client that creates a fun and challenging experience; also, they provide valuable teaching moments along the way. I look forward to using their services again.

Very professional! Excellent instructors with a wealth of knowledge and most importantly, they know how to facilitate the growth of one’s mountain sense.

Knowledgeable instructors and in a setting that inspires. I learned a lot during my course and look forward to putting my new knowledge to use exploring on snow in the Tetons and beyond.

The Mountain Guides are the best. It is not just the reputation of TMG as an elite group of experts in the field, it is the level of professionalism, their relating to clients in an individual manner, and safety. So glad we picked TMG as I’ve seen other climbing instructors and frankly they don’t have the same attention to details and professionalism as TMG. Our instructor, Randy Hohf, was very thorough and patient. It is great to have local instructors like Randy who is highly respected in the area for mountaineering, as is Tim Shaw for both mountaineering and alpine ski patrol.
