"I took the Avy Course with Jed. Very informative and well organized curriculum. Jed was very patient with us, professional and took great care of us on the treks. He even buffed out the trail ahead of us to make the travel easier for those of us learning backcountry techniques. I would and will highly recommend to any of my friends interested in traveling in the Winter backcountry." ~ G. Mellon
