★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Our course instructor, Tammy, was the absolute best! Would take another course with her in a heartbeat. She made it a comfortable and fun learning environment and was so supportive. Also has great jokes and is full of stories from her own experiences - a great person to learn from!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Incredible AST I course! Hayden's delivery was fun, informative, and professional. There was just the right mix of information and experiential learning, tossed with a smattering of bad dad jokes and epic snow.
This was a fantastic introduction course on avalanche safety. I began analyzing terrain and got used to properly using my avalanche tools and equipment. I came out feeling like I can be a part of decision-making in the backcountry, rather than follow along blindly.
THANK YOU!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We have done 3 separate tours with Kootenay Backcountry Guides over the years and they have all been top notch! Every tour we go on is an adventure. The guides are all knowledgeable of the terrain and snow science. We had a great time and learned a lot, and always feel safe. Also, we got engaged! They helped make our day extra special.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ My family and friends just finished a private AST 2 course. Judson was our guide/instructor. I had a great experience and learned so much. I think because we were a private group Judson was able to fine tune the course to meet our needs. Judson is a very good teacher who can bring everyone into the conversation/ lesson. He really brought out the best in me. Thanks Judson and Kootenay Backcountry Guides.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ My friends and I had an amazing day at Kootenay Pass touring with Martin -- we learned a ton and had lots of fun even though snow conditions were less than ideal. We also had an excellent experience booking our trip through the lovely Cath who was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Kootenay Backcountry and will definitely be booking another trip with them.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I organized a private AST 2 course and it was taught by Judson. It was a great 4 day field course with an online precourse that we completed in our own time in the weeks prior. Judson was an awesome teacher and I learned far more than I expected regarding critical decision making skills, snow pack study, avalanche terrain discernment, trip planning, online mapping, as well as group dynamics. Doing a private course was great as the dynamics are good and you are learning with the people you will be skiing with so you can further build and learn together while implementing what you all learned! I would highly recommend KBG for anyone thinking of furthering their backcountry knowledge.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I just completed an AST-2 lodge course with KBG. To summarize, I am very satisfied with the whole experience and I highly recommend their services if you wish to take this training.
The course begins with online training to be completed before going to the field. The material is really very well put together, dynamic and interesting. Judson and Kyle were our instructors for the course. They were able to pass on their knowledge with great relevance, dynamism, passion and humor. They respect the level of each participant and adopt an approach that allows everyone to progress in this complex subject.
The fact of doing it in a lodge context brings a very interesting added value in my opinion, because it allows to have a lot more exchanges on deferred subjects around ski touring, to meet fantastic people in addition to spending more time in this beautiful region. This course was a success both in terms of learning and backcountry experience, since we spent a lot of time in the mountains.
