Had a great experience with the whole family on a morning rock climbing tour for our son’s birthday. All of the kids loved it (13, 14 and 18), and the parents got in on it as well. Our guide Karin was awesome – patient, encouraging and positive. Would do it again!

Such a great experience mountain biking for the first time. Very knowledgeable guide who let us set the pace and take on some bigger challenges. Appreciated the training in the beginning before hitting the trails that gave us some pointers on how to maneuver on the bike. 10/10 would recommend this experience.

Absolutely amazing experience doing my AIARE Level 1 course with Irwin!! Learned so much and had a great time doing it. Super professional and knowledgeable guides – Lani, Zach, and Ian were all awesome and made everyone feel safe while also pushing us to craft our own good decisions, and giving everyone the perfect head start to becoming confident, independent backcountry travelers. 10/10 don’t hesitate to book a trip with them if you’re considering it, you definitely will not regret it.

I had the opportunity to take an intro to backcountry skiing tour w/ Irwin Guide Chris M. It was a truly unique and memorable experience. Everything about the process from selecting a trip, getting coordinated beforehand and the on mountain experience was extremely professional and very smooth. Chris is an excellent and knowledgeable guide. I felt that he crafted the tour to meet my level of interest in technique and information about avalanche awareness and travel. We had a great day and skied some untracked lines in awesome powder. Would highly recommend.

We went out with them on 3/2/20, Introduction to Backcountry. I can’t stress enough how professional, knowledge, and overall how wonderful both Chris and Dom are. These guys made it a day that both my son and I will never forget. Five star operation all the way.
