This was my first season with the MSAA PPC and I loved it. Highly recommend for those looking to improve their backcountry skills and explore new terrain with a fun group! The guides were all great and ensured I felt safe while at the same time challenged me to push my boundaries. Thank you and looking forward to more exploring and learning next season :-)

Great course to attend. It’s been very knowledgeable as well as the teachers were fun to work with. If you ride whistler and around this course is a mandatory in my opinion to understand the variability of the terrain and play safe out there.And not just there… Strongly recommend to everyone who wish to chase fresh lines with friends in the backcountry.

I had an incredibly positive experience in my AST-1 course with Adrian. As someone who has always been nervous about the backcountry and avalanche risk, I found his teaching style approachable, engaging, and easy to connect with. By the end of the weekend, I felt far more confident in my ability to safely navigate and understand avalanche terrain.

Adrian is exceptionally knowledgeable and genuinely attentive to the people he is supporting. I would absolutely recommend MSAA, especially any courses or guided adventures with Adrian. When it’s time for my next course or a guided trip, I know exactly who I’ll be calling!

I took the Women’s Intro to Backcountry course and had a wonderful day with Jen, who is an excellent teacher and skier. We started with a brief overview of avalanche safety and first aid before heading to Lesser Flute to practice ski touring techniques. The scenery was breathtaking. I had a great time in the beautiful Winterland. I learned a lot and look forward to continuing my backcountry adventure with MSAA to learn from the best.

We had the best time today on the Via Ferrata experience. We were incredibly lucky to get Ollie as our guide who not only made us both feel really at ease during the climb, but also was incredibly knowledgeable about the local area and plant and animal life within it. We massively enjoyed our tour and will be sure to do another MSAA experience in the future.

The Squamish Via Ferrata was the perfect start to our day. It was just enough to get our heart rates up a little while still allowing us energy to hike some trails throughout the remainder of the day. The views cannot be beat. Victoria was an excellent guide with a great personality. Would 100% recommend this to anyone, regardless of age.

Absolutely recommend the Via Ferrata at the Sea to Sky Gondola with ⭐️MEGAN⭐️ From the first meeting, we knew Megan was be a perfect match as our guide :) She was solid with her care and confidence in leading our small group of 3 experienced climbers…the approach was well paced as was the vertical experience. Megan shared stories of the natural surroundings and answered all of our questions with enthusiasm and reflection. She was attentive to our clipping and safety techniques as well as capturing great images throughout the tour, thank you so much MEGAN you’re the Best!

I took the AST 1 course with this company and it was an outstanding experience. The training is practical, well-structured, and genuinely useful—everything you cover feels directly applicable to making better decisions in the backcountry and coming home safer. It’s the kind of course where you can tell every hour is well spent.

A special shout-out to our instructor, Ollie. He explains concepts in a clear, approachable way, keeps the group engaged, and balances confidence with real respect for the mountains. Super professional, positive, and attentive to everyone’s learning.

Highly recommended—both the course and Ollie.
