Willie is of course a legendary mountaineer. He gave me a lot of good practical information for a big climb I have coming up.

Trip: Hybrid Avalanche Course Level 1

Guide: Erik F.

Took Avy 1 in December and the class was great. Loved the 4:1 ratio for the class. Erik was professional, engaging, and accommodating to the students. Learned a ton during our two field days and am really happy with the experience. Would definitely recommend folks check out WMG for avy training!

Trip: Hire a Ski Guide: Ski and Splitboard Touring

Guide: Erik F.

I had a great time learning about BC ski touring with Erik F. last week. He's very knowledgeable, super patient and an excellent teacher. I learned a lot about uphill technique, route planning, snow conditions and avalanche hazards. Looking forward to going out w/ Erik again in Feb., 2025. Highly recommended!

Trip: Hybrid Avalanche Course Level 1

Guide: Erik F.

It was absolutely a phenomenal, instructional, and inspiring weekend - Erik F. is a wealth of knowledge, imparts his passion for the back country with an emphasis on safety & caution!! Despite less than desirable conditions (stormy, cold) it was an experience that I will treasure and cant wait to continue my learning and love for the back country!
