Trip: Backcountry Skiing /Splitboarding
Guide: Jordan D.
Jordan was an excellent guide and teacher. Couldn’t recommend him and his company enough for making our trip to the Opus hut and absolutely amazing one!

Trip: AIARE Women's Hut Based Avy 2 Course + Leadership Development
Guide: Mia T., Mallorie E.
What an incredible experience in the San Juans! Our hut-based Avalanche 2 group learned so much and had such an incredible time ski touring, digging pits, creating Caltopo maps, and becoming empowered to travel knowledgeably in the backcountry. We all came away from the experience with new friends and new skills!

Trip: AIARE Avy 1 Course
Guide: Chris T., Matthew C.
Really enjoyed the whole course! Favourite part was planning our own adventure on the Saturday evening, and then carrying out our plan on Sunday. I enjoyed learning about snow types and conditions and how they change throughout the season. Awesome experience all round!
