NICOLAS HALE-WOODS
Founder and CEO of the Freeride World Tour
“Our partnership with WEMountain is a cornerstone of the Freeride World Tour’s top priority: safety. There can simply be no progress without a robust global safety education programme. We are very impressed by what WEMountain has achieved in such a short space of time”
YANN DELEVAUX
Mountain guide
“Having grown up in the Chamonix valley, you might think that becoming a mountain guide was a path that was already all mapped out for me. In fact, not at all! Nobody in my circle of friends or family skied or climbed, and I was lucky enough to meet people who helped me discover a real passion! A passion that drives WEMountain today and inspires all participants, whether beginners or experts. A passion that involves risk too, because the mountains aren’t a running track!!
“WEMountain represents years of experience, practice, and the occasional mistake, but above all, it’s about those extraordinary moments of sharing that help us deepen our understanding. It’s about enjoying a beautiful day in the mountains with full awareness and a thorough understanding. Because the mountains have given me so much and taken so much from me, I support and collaborate with WEMountain in its mission!”
Marc-antoine schaer
founder and CEO of Alpride SA
“The mountains are as beautiful as they are dangerous. To make them far less dangerous – and therefore even more beautiful – there is only one way: you must learn to understand them, get to know them and adapt to their ever-changing moods. This is exactly what WEMountain has done by partnering with numerous international experts. Today, with passion and professionalism, WEMountain offers to pass on these exceptional skills through a unique digital and in-person programme. An opportunity not to be missed!”
