Took an avalanche course with the school. The school collected my money and failed to provide the legal forms they desired to be signed. The releases were provided with insufficient time for legal review and when I balked at specific releases the owner became a jerk and said he couldn't get new legal review. Additionally, the area they have license to teach in is over an hour away from the school, thus wasting everyone's time. The individual guides were quite good and I felt instructed well. The owner himself was also quite knowledgeable (though not about running a business).
We had such a blast ice climbing with our guide Jesse! He was so helpful and motivating and never made us feel like we were terrible at climbing even though it was our first time haha and he was so patient with all my picture taking and getting great shots! Would 1,000% recommend!
I took my AIARE 1 course with Apex Mountain School this past weekend and could not be happier. The level of professionalism that they had and the extensiveness of their knowledge was incredible. They were truly committed to making sure we got the most out of our course and were truly engaging us in content the entire extent of the time. They exposed me to an immense amount of brand new material in ways that were easy to follow and peaked my interest to further pursue it. Some of the guides in Apex were out of town so they brought guides in from Utah and Washington, which was a super cool opportunity to get two unique perspectives of snowpack and terrain helping us give a more complete sense of snowpack across the country. I could not be more satisfied with this course and thought it was worth every penny, will always highly recommend Apex Mountain School to anyone interested in furthering their avalanche education.
