Student reviews
“I attended my first Risk Maturity course last year and it was likely the best class I’ve ever been a part of. Mountain and avalanche safety refreshers is something that we do at the start of each and every winter. Just like how we warm up for riding, it’s crucial to dust off the rescue skills and get up to speed with the latest techniques and protocols. It doesn’t matter if you’re a guide, 20 year backcountry veteran or a rookie- this course has something for everyone.”

“The risk maturity classes have taught me so much more than just mountain safety. The decision making process Is a mentality that i’ve adapted into every part of my life. using known and unknown variables, correlating potential outcomes and categorizing scenarios into acceptable or unacceptable risk - to me this is a foundational education on how to live a long and happy life on and off the mountain.
