Trip: AIARE Avy 1 Course
Guide: Evan C.
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.

We went out to East Animas for a day climbing with Jeremy. It was fantastic. The whole process was super easy and the climbing was great. Jeremy was an excellent guide and great company. He picked out some fantastic routes and views from the crag weee spectacular. Jeremy made sure we felt safe and challenged in equal measure. First class experience and we cant recommend it enough! Thanks! Sam + Rose, UK.
