About us

Why choose us?

  1. 01

    Experience.

    Local, ACMG/IFMGA-certified guides with over 20 years of experience, professional athlete backgrounds, and a career spent guiding mountains worldwide. We know these mountains because they're home.

  2. 02

    Professionalism.

    Leading the industry by guides certified through the ACMG and IFMGA, the highest standard of mountain guide training in the world. That certification means years of training and assessment in technical skills, avalanche and hazard management, rescue, and client care before anyone leads you in the mountains.

  3. 03

    Safety.

    Our guides treat each day as a job to do well. We plan carefully, watch the conditions closely, keep our systems tight, and tell you plainly what's happening and why. We will turn around when the mountain calls for it, because getting you home safely matters more than any summit.
