Trip: AIARE Level One

Aiare 1 course in Rocky Mountain National Park was informative and well executed by Max. I was happy to have such a knowledgeable and fun instructor for this course, which is an essential building block for all winter backcountry users planning to be in the mountains.

Max did a great job of meeting us at our individual levels (beginner and intermediate) and was able to challenge us both while making it fun. He did a great job of teaching the skill and also letting us just have a fun adventure ice climbing!

Great course. Perfect level of fun and learning. Really helped me become more confident in situations that I just assumed were safe or ran from before. Now I can make educated decisions on if I should head in instead of just relying on stoke level

I just wrapped up the Avalanche AIARE course, and it was such a great experience! The instructors were not only super knowledgeable but also really fun and down-to-earth, which made the whole thing feel like a good time, not just a class. They kept things casual while still teaching us serious skills, and the hands-on practice in the field was super valuable. By the end of the course, I felt way more confident about avalanche safety and had a lot of laughs with both old friends and new ones. Highly recommend it if you're looking to learn and have fun with a solid crew!

Max was able to make an extremely important, serious and dangerous topic fun, engaging and educational. He has an incredible knowledge base on many outdoor topics that he is more than willing and capable of sharing.

Was a ton of fun and feel so much more comfortable making decisions in avalanche terrain. Max was a great instructor and hope to take another course with him soon!
