I took an AIARE 1 with Blackbird and couldn't recommend it more. The knowledge gained was well-worth every penny, and then some.

Just took the "lift-accessed" Avalanche Rescue course, and it was a fantastic opportunity to act out more realistic rescue scenarios. Highly recommended!

Seriously experienced guides who do a phenomenal job of teaching methods for the backcountry. The course was thorough, impressive, and comprehensive. I only wished we had more time to spend with the guides!

Completed AIARE 1 w/ Blackbird. Instructors were very knowledgeable, experienced, patient, attentive, and down-to-earth in relating to clients across a wide spectrum of ability. Great group of people!
