The information is presented in a way which is easy to understand and interesting. I will now be recommending this course to anyone who plans to go off piste."

'' This is an awesome tool for anybody who wants to spend time skiing or snowboarding off piste. It's a great refresher course for the experienced and an excellent introduction for anyone new to the backcountry. The course moves along at a good pace, doesn't repeat itself, and is chock full of useful hints and tips, using easy to understand language and without being overly complicated. The delivery is fun and entertaining and the AT team are honest about this not being a substitute for on-snow training but a really good addition to ongoing learning ''

" A course that may save your life; The course is engaging, interesting and full of great utilisable knowledge. Highly recommended to anyone interested in the backcountry "
Dom Turner - Director & Co-owner of Skiology
"What a great job I think George has done with preparing the material. It’s broken down into
digestible and logical chapters, the presentation is clear and concise and the quality of the
filming greater enhances the learning that can be taken from it. Lots of organisations have
talked about / tried to put together things like this, but nothing has appeared that is as good as
what George has done. Hence I’ve been recommending it to clients and will continue to do so.
It’s brilliant!"
