Myself and my friends took an AST1 course through KBG. Dan \Savage\ was an excellent guide. He led us into some amazing terrain at Kootenay Pass. We always felt safe with his decisions. The skills and knowledge he passed on to us are priceless. His sidekick Sarah was an excellent asset as well and she shared a wealth of information with us as well. Definitely will be coming back for more!

My guide was named Lee. He was an awesome dude who took me on a tour to remember. We covered a ton of ground and had the runs of my life. Lee’s knowledge of the terrain was awesome. His safety information was also great. I would use these guys again.

Although I have done AST1, I am still not confident in the back country. I was lucky to be invited on a private guided tour with Joel McBurney. From the moment we started out, I felt very relaxed and safe with Joel. He made me feel as if my questions were relevant, was extremely patient and encouraging, and provided great tips to improve our technique climbing. By the end, I was breaking trail for the group! Joel even sang for us. It was a delightful experience which increased my confidence in the back country. Thanks, Joel!

We completed the Managing Avalanche Terrain course with Judson Wright today, and it was phenomenal. Judson is highly experienced and spared no detail when sharing his knowledge with us. Doing the online learning instead of a class room was ideal. We had a huge day out in the field and although pit digging and companion rescue wasn't on the curriculum, we did it anyway. Thanks Judson!!

I had a great experience doing AST-1 with Tamy and Dylan. Dylan did an awesome job sharing his up to date knowledge. Tamy was very helpful sharing her experience from the field about avalanches and tree well. Learned a lot about the mountains and assessing slopes. We did companion rescue situation to ensure familiarity with equipment. I also did AST-2 with Kootenay Backcountry guides and had Andrew and Joel. They brought us through a bunch of terrain which allowed us to evaluate different terrain and slope to determine if they were safe to travel across. They did a few companion rescue situation. We also were able to go through planning process and compass use in planning trips. The overall online learning experience was great. It was engaging an informative. Judson did a great job creating the engaging online experienc. It used lots of videos and text, as well as little quizzes to kep you on your toes.
