Evan Clapper is down to earth and very knowledgeable of the San Juan mountains and Moab area. He was patient and communicated well with our group during our AIARE I course.

Trip: AIARE Avy 1 Course
Guide: Bruce S., Jordan D.
Knowledgeable guides with different approaches to the backcountry made it a great dynamic for classroom and tour planning. We went to the field every day and I couldn’t have asked for a better class. I would highly recommend this company.

Trip: AIARE Avy 1 Course
Guide: Bruce S., Jordan D.
This course gave me the basics needed to understand how to Prepare, Plan, Ride Safely, and Debrief after a day out in the backcountry. I have a new appreciation of the risks (and rewards) of a well planned out trip. For sure I will need to practice what I have learned and continue my avalanche learning curriculum.
