Here at Colorado Adventure Guides we know some people face hurdles when trying to break into the world of backcountry ski/splitboard guiding and avalanche education instructing.
PMP fosters the professional and personal growth of all individuals; however our program’s focus is to connect mentors with mentees from historically marginalized communities to help them achieve their highest professional aspirations. We believe mutual understanding is crucial to fostering the development of a diverse group of outdoor leaders.
This will ultimately enlarge, but also diversify, the fields. Accordingly, in the 2024/2025 season, we will give particular attention to supporting two cohorts through our program – a BIPOC group and a women’s group.
This program is geared towards individuals who aspire to a position or career in avalanche education or backcountry ski/splitboard guiding. It is open to all seeking mentorship, so apply! Applications will be accepted before October 31st of each season. The program will run from Dec-March and will include two-hour virtual sessions and one-day field sessions each month throughout the season as well as open communication with your mentor and fellow mentees.
