“Mark's alpinism courses taught me to move lighter, faster, and safer through mountainous terrain.  It's also given me and my partners more confidence to tackle bigger objectives.  Thanks Mark!”

“Marky Mark, I'm up here in the Lakes Basin, just a few miles from my house, top of Mammoth Mountains right there. I'm gonna ski this chute, Hollywood chute.  I was just up here reflecting, I'm by myself, and I just wanted to thank you dude, because it's because of you I'm able to do this, and you've given me the skills needed to mitigate hazards and be safe up here, even while I'm by myself. I know you don't condone that, but, yeah dude, you've given me the confidence, and I really appreciate you as a friend, and all you've done for me, and, yeah dude, I'm gonna go shred this line, and I hope you and the family are well, tell everyone hi, and I hope to see you soon.  Bye buddy.”

“Hey Mark,  Just wanted to say thanks for the awesome crevasse rescue course.  Didn't tag Gannett yet but a bud invited me on a last minute,  self guided trip to Rainier which we snagged this past weekend.  Felt awesome to know I had the tools to yank someone  (or myself) out of an ice box if needed.  Thanks again for the great, easily digestible tutorials!”

If you haven't purchased this yet, do it! This is essential information to be a competent member of a team or lead a group of lesser experienced climbers. Do yourself, your climbing buddies, and everyone else a favor and just buy this now.

I like how I can go back and rewatch parts to refresh myself when I have questions or am going out to practice skills, and the feedback from Mark take that to the next level. Overall the courses have helped make me a way more competent and confident backcountry skier, and helped me to ski lines that only a few years ago I thought I’d never be able to
