Great! Took course about 12 yrs ago. I feel like I learned 10 times more this time around.

Very informative and engaging. Bruce and Jordan did a fantastic job, and we all had a great time.

Bruce and Jordan were excellent guides. They conveyed the material in an easy to understand way and made us confident in our skill sets and what we’d learned. Couldn’t recommend SJE AIARE 1 more!

Knowledgeable guides with different approaches to the backcountry made it a great dynamic for classroom and tour planning. We went to the field every day and I couldn’t have asked for a better class. I would highly recommend this company.

This course gave me the basics needed to understand how to Prepare, Plan, Ride Safely, and Debrief after a day out in the backcountry. I have a new appreciation of the risks (and rewards) of a well planned out trip. For sure I will need to practice what I have learned and continue my avalanche learning curriculum.

Super fun and informative Avy 1 course. I learned a lot with Bruce and Chris. Very interactive instead of just doing death by power point.
