“We can never know too much about risk management, nor can we ever be too up-to-date. With WEMountain, I can efficiently refresh at the start of the season and challenge my perception of my practice throughout the winter.”

"As a participant in the Grande Patrouille des Glaciers 2024, WEMountain's online training has enhanced my understanding of the mountains, focusing on risk situations and explaining how to avoid them. For me, the safest avalanche is the one that doesn't happen. Taking an avalanche course every year, this training is not just a theoretical refresher but provides a solid foundation of essential knowledge."

"Just to say that I have completed your course and really enjoyed it, and as someone who lives in London and doesn’t live and breath the mountains every day, I learned a lot. I found it very interesting how much of the course was about human decision making and influence, which makes perfect sense now, but wasn’t what I was expecting. Really looking forward to putting it into practice when I attempt the Haute Route in a couple of weeks’ time."

"The WEMountain course is super engaging, with a modular approach and a great mix of videos, animations, and quizzes. Even though I thought I already knew quite a bit about the topic, I still learned important insights about human factors. And when it comes to safety, a refresher is always a good idea! In short, I loved it!"

Certified WEMber Rescuing Riders From An Avalanche

« It was a hard day… with nearly a metre of new snow over the past four weeks, the avalanche risk was very high (4/5). We were riding in the Verbier area when we saw a big slide next to Col de Creblet. Maybe ten people were on the face, all at the same time. Zero safety precautions. Unfortunately, two girls were snowboarding in the middle of the face. The avalanche hit them full force. We were first on-site and immediately started a transceiver search. We quickly found the first girl. The second was 70 metres downhill and we got to her quickly as well. While we were digging them out, people around us kept on skiing in all directions. The inevitable happened. A second avalanche hit. It carried away a third person. Verbier is a freeride mecca. Everyone should have the right gear, know the conditions, but more importantly, get mountain safety training. Thank you WEMountain for your training programs. They helped me save lives that day. »
