Jack is an exceptional guide. This is my 4 th time spending multiple days with him. He is always finding the right tour for the day, and always delivers the goods. I’ve never had a bad day with him!

Trip: AIARE Hut Based Avy 1 Course
Guide: Chris T., Jordan D.
Highly recommend San Juan Expeditions! Recently took my AIARE 1 as a hut trip and it was amazing!! Our guides, Chris and Jordan, are incredibly experienced, intelligent, and skilled backcountry tourers. I was highly impressed with their level of professionalism and knowledge; plus how well they taught and shared that background. This translated so well in the hut/classroom and in the field. They challenged us to think critically, engage in the curriculum, and support each other as we developed our skills. We spent the majority of the weekend in the field: touring, reading terrain and conditions/forecasts, and skiing! It was so fun being together all weekend, based out of the hut because it encouraged discussion and questions throughout the entire course. Always learning but also spending quality time in a beautiful place with amazing people. Thank you Jordan and Chris!! Would love to book another trip with you!

Excellent guide Service! Recently completed a Hut based AVY 1 course with Chris T and Jordan D. Both of these guides were exceptional at what they do. Not only did the teach the course well they also spent the time and effort to help you dial in your backcountry touring skills. These guys are up early to make your coffee and highly engaged through out day until bedtime. I highly recommend Chris, Jordan and the crew with San Juan Expeditions!
