Mentorship comes in many forms, partnerships where
Mentorship comes in many forms, partnerships where learning from more experienced friends and then there are educational mentorship that allow students to follow a standard progression from a trusted source. Guides can fulfill both roles. We set up a number of Combo Courses to make your journey easier to figure out as well as making it more affordable- 1-AIARE L1/Intro to Touring Combo, goes together like Oreos and Milk, skills that link so you can start your touring career with the Snow Safety and Movement skills- $665 2-AIARE L2 & Rescue best done in the same season-$600 for both; 2-Crevasse Rescue & Intro to Ski Alpinism, we split them up so you can avoid using vacation days. Spend 1 Day @Snoqualmie Pass going over all the facets of Crevasse Rescue and basic Glacier Travel rope work, then up on the mountain for 3 days of Glacier Travel, Navigation and Alpine Touring! Total-$995 These programs allow a solid progression from Simple tours out of your home area to the vast alpine the PNW and BC have to offer! Sign up with your favorite instructor to keep the continuity with your education and chart your progress! Tell us what you think you need... Ski ya this winter! Matt and the BCAG Team

Friday, fun day! Slaying pow in Silver Basin last
Friday, fun day! Slaying pow in Silver Basin last season with the elusive Tommy D. Planning and riding takes solid skills and the right tools. Skinning and the Ski Track take time to perfect, challenge yourself and learn what it takes and work on your weaknesses. I start every tour focusing on fundamental as I warm up, sliding the ski across the surface of the snow, snapping my hips as I stride up. Tools play an important role, a quiver of one is possible and it will do everything you want. A pow ski will make the deepest days euphoric, a light weight carbon ski will remind you why light is right when riding a volcano or traversing the Cascades with an overnight pack. Bindings are designed for specific tasks, a Shift binding is an alpine downhill binding that is meant for ski areas and going up. An Atomic Backland or Dynafit tech binding is designed for the up and down backcountry snow. As your attention turns to winter and you begin to draw up your seasonal bucket list, make a list of skills you need to work on and one or two pieces of gear you need to achieve that goal.

Winter Dreaming❄ Another heat wave, another time
Winter Dreaming❄ Another heat wave, another time to dream of deep pow down a long, winding couloir to an amazing apres to recount the best day ever!
