Comments from our students, guests and friends:

White Cross Ski Tour 2009

 I really enjoyed this and will do it again with you.  Thanks for your wonderful stories, intimate knowledge of the terrain and relaxed way of getting everything to work like clockwork.

Wayne Shtybal,  Saanich, BC

 

"My two 15 year old sons and I took the AST 1 course last weekend.  I came away from the two days with a keen appreciation of how little I knew about avalanche danger.  The boys actually admitted that they had learned a lot!  And they had fun.Jan was great. I look back at this being one of the best things I have done for my kids in a long time.  It could save their lives. Thanks."

Paul Cosulich, Vancouver BC.

 

"I have been the educational coordinator for the Vancouver Island Section of the Alpine Club of Canada, for the past two years and Cliff Umpleby has been the instructor of choice for all of our winter educational offerings. He is by far the most knowledgeable mountain guide that I have ever met, when it comes to avalanche safety training, crevasse rescue and backcountry ski technique."

Peter Rothermel, Qualicum Beach BC

 

......."From an initial top rope rock climbing course, through to a wild expedition in the Waddington range, Jan has provided me with solid instruction and guiding to the highest standards"

Mort Allingham, Comox B.C.
