Very happy with this course overall, and more specifically engaging instruction from Ian, Cheri, and Charlie during our field days! Will be recommending BACG to my friends looking for AIARE 1 training.

Our guides were incredible. Ian, Charlie and Sherri were informative, positive, and had tons of feedback to give us in real time. I would absolutely love to learn from them again!

I was extremely happy with this course. The course and guides exceeded my expectations in providing holistic, helpful and active training, advice and coaching throughout the online calls and specifically onsite days. I am new to ski touring so while the focus was on avy safety, I also got an extremely valuable "introduction" to ski touring as well. Thank you so much, I am very grateful!

Sam was an AMAZING instructor. Took the time to answer every question. Very very knowledgeable. Also had Sherri on the first day who was also excellent! Overall awesome course. Totally would recommend to friend. Only area for improvement: there could have been better communication around the zoom sessions. One email said they started at 6 and other said 6:30. The passcode for the zoom session was also communicated separately from the zoom links (the second one was only communicated verbally) which made it difficult to login to the zoom sessions.
