Guide: Kam W., Erin L.
All around awesome experience! This course was a very fun and informative 3 days. Kam and Erin were both amazing and very knowledgeable and created a great learning environment. I would 100% recommend San Juan expeditions Avy 1 course and I will most definitely be taking more Avy courses with them in the future.

Trip: Backcountry Skiing /Splitboarding
Guide: Jack K.
I would highly recommend booking with San Juan Expeditions. The crew and I highly enjoyed our experience with Jack, Adam and Sarah. They kept the energy high, were inclusive to everyone while ensuring our safety was top priority. They went above and beyond to scout out deep pockets of powder before our arrival, making sure we skied the best in the San Juans, given the current conditions. We left the back country with complete and utter satisfaction. Cheers to this wonderful team!

Trip: Backcountry Skiing /Splitboarding
Guide: Will N.
What a trip! Will was super knowledgeable and a ton of fun to ski with. He allowed us to reach our objective while still having multiple backup plans in case conditions weren’t favorable. I can’t wait until next time, and would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a backcountry adventure!

Trip: AIARE Hut Based Avy 1 Course
Guide: Tico G., Chris C.
Both Tico and Chris did an excellent job matching tools with the field experience. These guys are definitely in their element when in the field and able to help guests process information about risks, tests, and observations to adapt the back country journey.

Trip: AIARE Avy 1 Course
Guide: Bruce S., Erin L.
This trip exceeded my expectations..... the learning was very hands-on but also included much touring to learn real-life observations to couple the classroom learning. I will be suggesting the AIARE I to anyone/everyone i know with Backcountry intentions and specifically San Juan Expeditions in Silverton. Thank you Erin and Bruce for a very great and memorable weekend!
