Mountain Addicts - Guiding and Instruction

I had the opportunity to take my AST 1 with Nik and my AST 2 with Mel. They were both knowledgable, professional, and super personable. I can't overstate how much I've learned from these courses. I feel much more confident venturing into the backcountry now. 10/10 recommend booking a course with Mountain Addicts.

Great AST 2 course. Mel is a extremely talented guide who focused on allowing the students to increase their competence in decision making. This provided an exceptional learning experience and improved their knowledge base in the back country.

Mel was an incredible instructor. Very practical and gave good step by step instruction to plan, enjoy & manage danger in the back country as a beginner AST 1. Highly recommend mountain addicts 🤙🏽

I did the AST 1 course and Mel was absolutely amazing. I learnt so much and she explained everything so well to make it easy to understand, This course is great for all experience levels and for just a recap for the coming season! I highly recommend Mountain Addicts and Mel!

Completed the midweek AST 1 course with Mountain Addicts. Can not recommend this course or Mountain Addicts strongly enough. Our instructor (the business owner) Mel is extremely knowledgeable, professional and generally rad. The course is a must for anyone considering exploring the backcountry and Mountain Addicts does an exceptional job presenting the information. Enjoy!
