Winter transforms the landscape into stunningly beautiful scenery in a potentially severe environment. We receive a lot of interest in our winter programs simply because people love winter and retain a childlike fascination with it. Winter is filled with an array of challenges and adventures. Our clinics and courses focus on providing you the skills required to move safely and confidently over winter terrain. Your safety and enjoyment of winter terrain depends upon you making the best decisions possible. The foundation for good decision-making comes from your knowledge of technical skills, familiarity with your equipment and the lessons learned from your experiences in the mountains.

Private guiding allows your needs to be addressed in a personalized manner and has proven to be an excellent way for individuals and groups to learn at a pace you direct. Our guides are flexible and love a new adventure. Tell us what you want to accomplish during your time with us and chances are good we can arrange it. We want your climb to be a safe and enjoyable experience. Prices are determined by the ratio of climbers to guides.
