Steve was a great instructor, and I really dig his approach to educating. He tied together the various natural factors and human factors that lead to decisions in the mountains, and while explaining what to look for and watch out for in the conditions themselves, he also explained clearly what to look for and watch out for in your own thoughts and doubts, as well as the thoughts, doubts and fears of those around you. The two days were taught at a good pace and the material was well explained while still keeping the atmosphere light and friendly. I'd for sure look to BCAG again for more outings.

I really enjoyed this course. I walked away with a much better understanding of avalanche awareness, trip planning, equipment use (especially avalanche rescue gear), and group dynamics when planning and conducting a backcountry tour. I found the zoom meetings immensely more valuable than I had imagined and really enjoyed our field days. Thanks again for a wonderful and informative course. -Bradley Pazian

Love the instructors, both online (Ian) and in field (Cheri and Pablo). Very knowledgeable, passionate, and great teachers. The only reason not 5 stars is there were several mistakes in the emails sent out to students (wrong Zoom link kept several students and one instructor away, and wrong instructor names were sent out after the trip) and there could be a little better coordination among the instructors. Otherwise a fantastic course that I would still recommend to others.
