We enjoyed a wonderful family rock climbing experience in the Flatirons with Apex. Melanie arranged a trip appropriate for our ability and our guides, Scott and Brett, were skillful, patient, and safety-conscious. It was a great experience!

Took AIARE Level 1 with Apex and can't say, "Thank you" enough! We had an extremely knowledgeable and friendly staff working with us that pushed our class and created an engaging learning environment. The lessons I learned have already impacted how I look at the backcountry, and I'm looking forward to taking Level 2 here. Thank you Scott, Stewart, and Sarah for sharing your knowledge and experience with us! - Tim R.

I instructed an AIARE Level 1 avalanche course with Apex this past weekend and can attest that Apex does an excellent job running these courses and makes sure each student learns the objectives laid out in the level 1 curriculum. All the instructors I had an opportunity to work with really hold the students learning experience highly and were great to work with. I highly recommend Apex to anyone who is looking to advance their avalanche education and am really excited to teach more of these courses with them!

I recently took an AIARE Level 1 avy course with Apex. The 3-day course ran seamlessly with 1 classroom day and 2 field days. Zach and Scott are professional and knowledgeable, and were overall fantastic instructors. I learned an incredible amount during the course. I’d highly recommend taking an AIARE Level 1 course with Apex before venturing too deep into the backcountry. In addition to avy knowledge, Zack and Scott bestowed practical skills and tips and tricks for travel in the backcountry, which can only be passed down f... read more
