Trip: AIARE 1 Avalanche Course

With Paul R. on March 07, 2026

Company: Core Mountain Guides

The AIARE 1 class with CORE was an awesome learning experience. The pace, data and maps, and hands on experience really made the learning fun and useful. The two days outside practicing and observing really drove everything home. Paul has a great way of establishing a positive, and trustworthy learning environment, and I highly recommend CORE Mountain Guides!

I took an AIARE 1 course with Paul and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I got a great blend of technical AIARE knowledge, managing risk, and interpreting forecasts along with the practicalities of travel in the backcountry, basic search and rescue, and how to read the snow. Paul clearly has lots of experience in the field and is able to clearly communicate and share what he's learned with others. I would definitely recommend this course to others!

I had an awesome trip with Core Mountain Guides and would go out in any adventure with them again. I took the AIARE 1 avalanche course with Paul. He was great!! Paul guided us through the course materials, then led us through our objectives for two safe and successful days in the backcountry. The learning was serious. The jokes were funny. I definitely recommend going out with Paul and Core Mountain Guides!!
