Keeping the GSG fam sharp! Alpine skills training days on the Eastside with IFMGA guide Ryan Huetter. Mentoring is a big part of the equation when it comes to staying sharp and continued education outside of the regularly schedule AMGA programs which are currently on hold. GSG Guides Josh Reinig and Greg Davis spent 2 days in the alpine where they were able to work on their alpine techniques and systems while being observed by fellow IFMGA Guide Ryan Huetter. Big thanks to Ryan for helping facilitate this mentorship program and to GSG Guides Josh and Greg for the willingness to expand their knowledge and participate in the days out.
AMGA Annual Meeting // 40th Celebration
What an incredible last few days at the annual AMGA meeting in Salt Lake City. Celebrating their 40th anniversary, the AMGA went above and beyond past events and delivered an excellent meeting. From indoor and outdoor technical clinics hosted by Petzl, classroom sessions with presentations hosting a variety of topics related to the guide service industry, to entertaining after parties at the Black Diamond headquarters and the Union event center where American Mountain Guides were pinned, the meeting had it all! Big thanks to the AMGA and it’s Instructor Team for another outstanding meeting, to their partners Petzl and Black Diamond for hosting our community and to the guides who were pinned last night, well done! It’s reassuring to see the support behind this industry and the direction it is headed. Looking forward to another great year in the field and to the 41st meeting next October! .
