Our Team

What makes an Alpine Endeavors guide?

In addition to Alpine Endeavors meeting the standards for AMGA Accreditation, all Alpine Endeavors guides operating in New York are New York State Licensed. Above this, all Alpine Endeavors guides have gone through additional training and/or certification with the American Mountain Guides Association (see certification key at bottom of page). This is a standard we have upheld since 2005, when we started as the only service in New York having all AMGA certified guides. Until a guide is certified, they can only work with us as an assistant under the supervision of one of our certified guides. Having a guide that is certified assures you they have the experience and training with more standard procedures, and also the know-how to avoid and/or deal with the many situations that can arise. New York State only offers licensing, the AMGA offers training and exam-certification of guides based on an international standard. For more information on the American Mountain Guides Association (AMGA) and the NYS DEC guide license program, please visit their web sites.
