A.I.A.R.E Avalanche Courses: Winter has arrived in the San Juans! We've received over 7 feet of snow in just the last few weeks and now is the time to start thinking about enrolling in one of our AIARE Level 1 or Level 2 Avalanche Courses. The San Juans have long been considered one of the best mountain ranges in the country to observe and study the mountain snowpack. Space is limited so sign up today!! December - March.
Backcountry Skiing: The San Juans are host to some of the best backcountry ski touring in the lower 48. Impeccable access and a lifetime's worth of potential ski descent options will keep you coming back year after year. We've received over 7 feet of snow since December 12th, so don't miss your chance to experience what "cold smoke" feels like on your face! December -
April
Stop by our new office at 835 Main Avenue next to Pine Needle Mountaineering!
Recent Client Comments
"Nate Disser, owner of Southwest Adventure Guides, recently led me on Artesonraju in Peru's Cordillera Blanca, and I found him to be outstanding. He was extremely safe and knowledgeable, a great climber, and even capable of telling relatively funny jokes each morning. As a blind climber, I've done expeditions all around the world and dealt with all kinds of local outfitters and guide services; Southwest Adventure Guides is the best!"
