Gear
Blackbird guides Angelique Carl and Kelly Chang will be leading a professional development backcountry day on January 27, 2025 in the greater Tahoe area. The day will be run as part of AIARE's Professional Growth Network (PGN) in partnership with Blackbird Mountain Guides as an opportunity for up-and-coming mountain professionals to rub elbows with experienced educators and guides. The AIARE PGN is a mentorship program for snow and avalanche professionals of non-dominant gender identities; it was formerly the Women's Mentorship Program and has taken an exciting step to be more inclusive and more gender expansive. Angelique was part of the working committee that steered expanded access to the program, and Kelly is the mentor for the CA/NV cohort for the second consecutive year.

PRIVATE PROGRAMS
- Custom Scheduling: Choose your dates and plan around your availability.
- Tailored Experiences: Itineraries and objectives are adjusted to suit your goals, experience, and fitness.
- Cost-Effective for Most Large Groups: Private programs are typically more cost-effective for groups of 3 or more.
- Flexibility Comes at a Price: For groups of 1-2, private programs are generally more expensive.
- AIARE Courses: AIARE course pricing is based on a group of 6. Running these as a private program with fewer than 6 participants will increase the per-person cost.
SCHEDULED PROGRAMS
- Fixed Dates & Costs: Scheduled programs have set dates, itineraries, objectives, and pricing.
- Great for Solo or Small Groups: Ideal for individuals or small groups looking to share costs with others.
- Affordable for 1-2 People: Scheduled programs are typically less expensive for groups of 1-2.
- Less Flexibility: Dates fill quickly, and group programs require adapting to the skill level and pace of all participants
- Group Atmosphere: Meet others with similar interests and make some new backcountry buddies!
Note: Any scheduled program can also be run as a private program with customized dates and rates.
Both options offer exceptional guiding and experiences. Choose what works best for you!
