By completing the AST1 course, expertly led by Tamara and the Alpine Air Adventure team, I now feel ready to progress into guided backcountry splitboard tours. The online theory portion provided a solid introduction to the fundamentals of avalanche safety. Gaining a clearer understanding of snowpack, terrain characteristics, and avalanche reports really highlighted how essential proper education is for staying safe and riding pow within your comfort zone. The field day was an eye‑opening experience, especially practicing with an avalanche transceiver and learning how to manage rescue scenarios. I highly recommend this course, and I’d like to personally thank Tamara for her exceptional guiding. She’s a true backcountry badass who will absolutely spark your passion for exploring beyond the resort.

Had a fantastic time on an ice climbing trip booked through Climb Onsight! The process was seamless and we saved so much time on researching guides. The Muskoka Mountainworks guides are the best. They were patient with us newbies and made sure everyone had a nice balance of challenge and fun. The incredible location also made for an unforgettable day.
