One of our most popular programs! Our backcountry education mentorship course is a great opportunity to work with experts to grow your backcountry skills.

FAQ
What does a typical day look like?
Most days start at 8 a.m. and go till 4 p.m. Participants can expect to have some hands-on learning in the field based on their desired objectives (i.e beacon skills practice, route finding, trip planning).
What experience do the educators have?
Our guide/ instructor team are Level 3 certified avalanche practitioners and AIARE Level 2 certified Instructors. Along with being full time guides they are current AIARE avalanche educators.
What do I need to bring?
Avalanche rescue gear, snow study kit, and any mountaineering gear if that is part of your desired learning objective. Guides/ Instructor team will go over your list with you before the first day.
Are there any prerequisites for this course?
Since this is not a certification program there are no prerequisites. Your guide/Instructor team may recommend you do some reading or training prior.
Is there an option to do a 1-day course?
Yes, but the idea is to create a progression for clients so they get the most out of our time together.
Will this replace the need to take an avalanche course?
No. This is not intended to be a stand-in for avalanche education rather a way to further your skills or help introduce you to new skills that go beyond the scope of what can be covered in a course. We work along side avalanche course providers and are happy to help you sign up for a certified avalanche course before or after our time together.
Is transportation provided?
Yes, we provide a door to door experience for those within the Park City limits. Our guides want to get to know you and this gives us a chance to learn more about you!
