Hire a Professional
The Value of Certification
ACMG certification is your assurance that any member you hire has been trained and assessed to the accepted standard of an internationally recognized, professional body.
ACMG guides and instructors are trained to provide experience based decision making in the field and to balance two important facets of your trip – the feeling of adventure and your safety from objective hazards. Guiding is an elegant blend of art and science – a delicate synergy of experience and intuition. One must assess factors such as weather, snowpack quality, avalanche hazard, rock fall potential, crevasse and serac danger, route or terrain selection, daylight and distance, and continuously weigh them against your capability and objectives.
Front Ranges was built around a simple idea: more people should get to experience what's already in their own backyard.
They offer custom trail running and hiking adventures across the Canadian Rockies alongside skills clinics and courses for people who want to start planning their own trips with confidence. Their emphasis is on customization over formula. Every trip is built around the individuals, their goals, their pace, their idea of a good day out, and current trail conditions are factored in to make sure the timing actually delivers.
