  • "Our Guide met us in the boot room of our hotel. He then went on to teach us all avout the safety of riding and avalanche get out situations. We also had to find a receiver that had been burried a few weeks back so we could get used to search and rescue. Once ready, he checked the quality of our riding and then took us to an amazing part of the mountain we didn't even know existed. A bowl with powder up to our knees. INCRED! 10/10 for riderbility, 10/10 for knowledge, 10/10 for equipment. RECOMMEND for your next outing for sure!" - Trip Advisor
