  Nate was a fantastic guide that took his job very seriously and always acted professionally and responsibly. With that said, he was easy to get along with and made the entire day super enjoyable. From the start, he listened to what I was looking to get out of the experience and tailored the clinic around my goals and objectives. I couldn't have asked for a better guide. Highly recommend!

  Best decision I have made to take an avalanche course on my favorite mountain. I learned way more than I ever anticipated and enjoyed the 3 days! David was an amazing teacher and such a pleasure to be around. I would highly recommend this course to all my friends and thankful for the opportunity.

  We took an 8 day ski trip to Japan with SWS guides and had an absolute blast. I can't commend/recommend them enough and will most definitely be taking advantage of their trips in the future.

  Took my Avalanche Level 1 course with SWS and it was solid. Lots of field time to practice skills and the touring was fun, too.

  Our splitboard tour in Bear Valley with Nate was excellent. The SWS crew went above and beyond to get the trip planned and scheduled. Highly recommended. Can’t wait for the next trip!

  Took the Avy 1 course in Bear Valley with my 18 y.o.daughter and we both loved it. Tim and Nick brought a blend of theoretical and practical knowledge that I appreciated. It was a blast. Highly recommend.
