Multiple families specifically mentioned feeling safe with young children along, and first-time high-altitude hikers credited their guides with getting them safely to summits they might have otherwise turned back from.
I wasn’t sure about taking a beginner split board class as I have already been in the backcountry. However, I learned some things about my bindings and equipment and it was the first time I have ever tried riding down over icy flats/ slight uphill with poles. I’m sure I would’ve never tried that on my own and yet it was a game changer. It really encouraged me to follow others more skilled than me and increased my confidence level on those icy flats. Also really appreciated the classroom setting initially and then moving out for the tour. I had a lot of fun and highly recommended it.
