点评:Had such an incredible experience with the Women’s Intro to Ski Alpinism Course on Mount Baker!
It ended up just being my friend and I; a great student to instructor ratio!
Our guide, Juliana, was encouraging, patient, personable, and had a lot of knowledge and wisdom to share with us! She expertly monitored, adjusted, and guided us through the course with ease. She was always available to assist when needed, but she gave us ample space to do things on our own too. The summit day was smooth, and she kept reminding us to take care of ourselves by eating drinking and adjusting layers. Wisdom. It was also helpful to observe Juliana as she navigated her decision-making and made little adjustments throughout the duration of the course. While all skills are important, it’s that kind of sure and steady tactical calm and collected mindset that seems to be the most important.
We also signed up for the optional crevasse rescue practice with Matt beforehand, which was another very valuable experience. I liked Matt’s warm, relaxed, hands off teaching style, allowing us to fully engage in our learning experience, while still maintaining integrity in our skills and making sure everything got covered.
I really appreciated the balance of laid back attitudes with high level performance and professionalism.
P.s. you should have some baseline fitness and ski ability before taking this course.
翻译:在贝克山参加女子滑雪登山入门课程真是太棒了!
最后只有我和朋友一起参加;学生和教练的比例真是太棒了!
我们的向导朱莉安娜鼓励我们,耐心又亲切,而且有很多知识和智慧可以分享给我们!她专业地监督、调整并引导我们轻松完成了整个课程。她总是在需要的时候提供帮助,但也给了我们充足的空间让我们自己做事。登顶那天很顺利,她不断提醒我们要照顾好自己,注意饮食和调整衣服的种类。真是智慧。观察朱莉安娜在整个课程中如何做出决策并进行细微调整也很有帮助。虽然所有技能都很重要,但那种稳扎稳打、冷静沉着的战术心态似乎才是最重要的。
我们还提前和马特一起报名参加了可选的冰裂缝救援练习,这又是一次非常宝贵的经历。我喜欢Matt热情、轻松、不干预的教学风格,他让我们能够全身心投入学习,同时又不失技能的完整性,确保涵盖所有内容。
我非常欣赏他轻松随意的态度与高水平的教学表现和专业精神之间的平衡。
附言:参加本课程前,您需要具备一定的体能和滑雪技能。
