Jason Maurer

I thoroughly enjoyed the AIARE 1 class that I took! Jason was very professional and incredibly experienced which gave me confidence and kept me engaged during the course. He shared his experiences from 20 years of backcountry skiing and 10 years as a guide and avalanche educator and related them to what conditions we were seeing while touring. He encouraged students to ask questions and answered them thoroughly. Based on my experience with TMG, I would absolutely recommend this course to others looking to increase their knowledge of avalanche safety and risk management.

Jason Maurer is a pro. A pinnacle educator, patient, interesting, experienced.

Skiing with Jason was great. I was with a friend and we are both non-expert skiers. Jason was very patient, giving us feedback on techniques and helping with some tricks to make transitioning and uphill skinning easier. He was great with coaching us on the downhill sections as well. He listed closely and made sure that the day's activities were appropriate for our skills, comfort levels, and goals. Jason met with us each day before going out, to evaluate weather and avalanche risk, and helped us plan out a trek that fit our capabilities and goals. He took us to some awesome spots in Rocky Mountain National Park that we would never have skied without an experienced and knowledgeable guide.

Loved Jason, great guide. Also hybrid option great for not having to take week day off. Would recommend sending hybrid course materials two weeks before course date if possible. 5 days before course was a little tight.
