Booking with SWS Mountain Guides means you’re working directly with people who care about your goals - not just ticking a box. That means smaller groups, more time with your guides, and more instruction. Learn skills (don't just get to the top), and feel the difference.

Before winter snow locks in, spend a day doing a gear check. Make sure your skins stick evenly, and your beacon sends/receives.

Here's a link to a blog article about what and how to check your avalanche gear: https://f.mtr.cool/mhrfyoaobu
