Instead of climbing in the bugaboos, I booked the rock progression program. Jeff gave me his recommendation for a program that fits my experience and schedule. Unfortunately, the program got cancelled 2 days before its start, as I was the only one who signed up for it. Instead, Jeff offered to book private days with a climbing guide. I booked two days and had great experiences with Austin, the guide. Austin explained me the options we had and we chose to do a skills training and to climb two multipitches. Austin was a great and very knowledgeable guide, I had a stunning experience and can recommend to do private days with him!

Jeff Bullock really worked with me in regards to arranging rock climbing in Banff, instead of Lake Louise. This cut my cost since I now had a 2nd climber with me instead of myself only. Dustin, the climbing guide, was very supportive, encouraging, and safety minded. The Explore Share site seemed to have some glitches.....when I first signed up, I had the impression that climbing in Lake Louise was easily offered, but this was not really the case. Thank you for the pending partial refund, since the actual climb involved two participants instead of me alone. Bob Falge North Carolina, USA

Had a great ski touring initiation with our guide. The location was amazing and everything about the sport was covered. Looking forward to future guided Backcountry trips.

This was a truly exceptional tour - our guide Mike was knowledgeable about the area, all safety requirements/precautions and was a pleasure to spend the day with. The team were able to accommodate different experience and skill levels in a way that didn't make more experienced group members feel held back at all and had newer skiers feel supported. Despite the lack of snow this season we were still able to find plenty of fresh lines and had a spectacular day!

Although Jeff was meant to be the lead guide we actually had Josh Mojorossy from Golden. An amazing guide for ice climbing and such a helpful person. He agreed to give me a lift on the day of climbing which I was so grateful for. All correspondence was very clear, and Richard met me the evening before climbing to issue gear. A fist class service All round. Many thanks to all involved.

Great guides- Sunshine resort (not Lake Louise- hence 1 star review b/c not applivable). We had a very low snow year. Our back country gang found great snow. Our side country gang would have needed to boot pack at least 45 mins to get good snow. Would definately book Alpine Air Adventures again.

Jesse was a great guide, and the location was gorgeous. There were three different routes set up for various levels of climbing abilities.
