    We hired paragon for a half-day backcountry snowshoe trek combined with a smaller portion of powder/gladed area snowboarding. It was an enjoyable and memorable experience. Backcountry was new for my wife, and it was 3rd time in backcountry for me. I would not have done what we did without an experienced guide. I did not have a splitboard (so was lugging a 166cm board via helipak), so fair to say our guide was patient and monitored exertion levels (we do not live at colorado altitiude) and paced things appropriately. The experience met our expectations and was fairly priced. I would both recommend and use Paragon again. Thanks!

    Want to increase your avalanche awareness abilities AND have an amazing backcountry experience? Then, Paragon Guides is who you need to contact! The AIARE level 1 course is the perfect mix of classroom and field experience. Learn the importance of the decision-making process as you plan for backcountry travel. Increase your ability to not only identify avalanche terrain, but to also consider how human factors like familiarity and social proof impact your travel in the backcountry. As the flakes fall and visions of powder, untouched terrain, and amazing vistas invade your thoughts, having the expert guidance of Nick Vincent, Kreston Rohrig and the entire Paragon Guides team is a must! (You will also have a ton of fun!!) What are you waiting for??

    The guides that teach are unprofessional. They are constantly on their phones when they send the…read morekids off to explore, which is more like playing. They give them many of those opportunities, too. At one point, one of them was on the phone and cheering about getting something like a job. I wasn't sure. The other guide joined her and started cheering. They also encourage the kids to use the bathroom outdoors since that's what they would do in nature. I didn't know that and had nothing, such as tissue, to give to the kids. I don't recommend them.

    Walking Mountains has been nothing but wonderful during our visit to the Vail Valley. One of the…read morebest parts is their customer service! Because of Covid, they're requiring registration for their free events, which we had to switch around a bit while we were here in Vail for the week. They were all so courteous and helpful. Always giving me other options if something wasn't working out. The backcountry guided snowshoe hike, led by Nathan, was phenomenal!! He took us to West Lake Creek trail. We hiked for about 3 miles total. And he gave us low elevation folks plenty of stops to thoroughly catch our breath. And of course, we learned all about the science of snow while we rested. He also taught us about animal tracks and habitats, avalanches, wildfires, snow pack, water content in snow, etc. (Snowshoes were included.) Thank you Nathan and the entire Walking Mountain crew!
