Community
We believe that the mountains are a place for positive growth and community.
Mountains change people's lives.
With a solid foundation of skills and opportunities for mentorship in wild mountain environments, we build a bond with the mountains and the people with whom we travel them.
Our goal at Blackbird Mountain Guides is to facilitate amazing experiences in the mountains and create stewards of these pristine places through life-changing courses and guided adventures.
BLACKBIRD SCHOLARSHIPS
We believe that the backcountry community needs to more representative of our population as a whole.
To help foster a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive community in the mountains, we are proud to offer scholarships for AIARE Avalanche courses to support individuals from underrepresented groups.
These scholarships are open to women, BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color), and members of the LGBTQIA2S+ community.
LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
The lands on which we operate all of our domestic programs are the ancestral lands of various Indigenous people. We recognize the people who inhabited and stewarded the land for thousands of years before European colonization.
Our Land Acknowledgement recognizes the traditional lands of the tribes in each area that we operate in.
Have a suggestion or idea for how Blackbird Mountain Guides can positively impact the outdoor community and the lands we all love and want to protect? We’d love to hear from you.
