Ben was an awesome instructor for our level one course! Super appreciate all of his insights and sharing his experience with us as a class. Also, really appreciative of Ben having Bruce join us as a second instructor.. would highly recommend Ben and his avalanche training courses to anyone!

It was an excellent experience to take the course with Ben being our instructor. The field trips in RMNP offered a great opportunity to learn and analyze the in-reality-condition beyond text book. Ben is very knowledgeable about various mountain sports, backcountry environments and all sorts of useful skills. We all had tons of fun.

This was a super helpful course and well worth the value. Ben is great at teaching why you're making decisions on gear, choices on the field, etc as opposed to just providing a checklist of things you should do. Look forward to more classes like these!

10/10 the best AIARE class I’ve ever taken. I would honestly take this class again. Ben is a wealth of knowledge and one awesome guide.

Trip: AIARE 1 - Advanced Movement

Guide: Ben M., Guide to be T.

I took the AAIRE 1 advanced movement class with BHM Mountain Guiding in February 2024 and I could not recommend it any more highly. Ben and Max kept the classroom portion engaging and always kept the focus on how the information related to real life scenarios in the backcountry. I thoroughly enjoyed the field portion of the class as well. I learned a lot and even found some great skiing. I highly recommend taking this class if you want to gain real world experience rather than just the basics of the AAIRE 1 curriculum.

Great class! The classroom session gave a great overview of the tools available to plan a safe tour. The field days were very practical and fun! The guides were super welcoming to questions and encouraged continual learning

Best weekend ever! Was awesome to be out learning with Ben for AIARE 1. He goes above and beyond in teaching this trip in a way I would want out of a friend teaching me. Learned tons about avalanches, safety, and just general touring/BC tips. Worth every penny - would recommend to anyone looking to up their BC game.
