Testimonials
“By far the most professional, well organized, and up to date online learning platform I’ve seen! There’s a lot guides out there, trying to do something similar, but this is by far and away the best around. Keep up the great work team!”
— Josh Beckner, IFMGA Guide
“I did the MTC's Avalanche Refresher course, 2 years after my AIARE 1, and not only was it a great refresher, there were some topics that were completely new to me.
I both thoroughly enjoyed the content and presentation, and found it incredibly valuable as I prepare for the upcoming backcountry season. I would 100% recommend MTC to friends looking for a refresher, or for any Backcountry-centric education in general. I'll absolutely be back to do more courses with them in '25.”
— Chris Radford
“The Mountain Training Center is an incredible resource. If you want to brush up on your skills or take a step towards your avalanche education journey, this is your spot. Will is super knowledgeable and shares information in a way that's easy to understand and digest.
Would highly recommend making some popcorn, kicking back, and binging.”
