Sarah and Scott are amazing!!! They know their stuff, safety and ensuring an amazing time are definitely things they prioritize!
5/5 stars for sure. Our guides were prompt, professional, and most importantly an absolute blast to be around.

Check qualifications (i.e. training and certifications) and experience (years and resume) before going out with a guide. If I am going to pay $500 for a guide I want a badass one, not a guide that just started recently.
Scott Smith, the owner of this operation, is slow, boring and didn't give the client (my boyfriend) a true experience skiing in the backcountry. I think he is somewhat incompetent and unfit. By the way, his trip was last spring.
