Trip: AIARE Women's Hut Based Avy 2 Course + Leadership Development

Guide: Mia T., Mallorie E.

What a fantastic experience. As someone who took their Avy 1 and was terrified of the backcountry, I felt incredibly empowered by this course. Mia was incredible! She teaches in a manner that lifts you up and makes you believe in yourself, which is invaluable to me. Mal was great, providing plenty of smiles and laughs. I can't say enough good things about this course. 10/10 highly recommend!!!

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 C., 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!
