Education

At Trillium Alpine Guides, we believe that skill development is the foundation of successful climbing, mountaineering, and backcountry skiing and riding. We offer customized education courses to meet your specific objectives because just like our guided adventures, there is no one-size-fits-all skill course. Our recommendation is to combine a skill course and a climb within the same season to promote the learning progression in a controlled environment and application in a practical context.

We are excited to introduce the Mountain Mentorship Series and Backcountry Ski Academy as immersive and comprehensive season long progressions for alpine climbers and backcountry skiers.
