Certified Ski Mountaineering Guide
Terrain Description: Ski Mountaineering Guide
When ski mountaineering certification is an integral part of, or basis for, obtaining a permit to guide, Certified Ski Mountaineering Guides are required to operate only within the confines of the ski mountaineering certification and the terrain limitations applicable to that certification. This section outlines the type of terrain on which a Certified Ski Mountaineering Guide is allowed to guide when ski mountaineering certification is an integral requirement for obtaining a permit. AMGA guides are allowed to work outside of these limitations when their certification is not an integral requirement for acquiring a permit.
AMGA Ski Mountaineering Guide certification is designed for guiding either ski tours or ski ascents/descents, on nordic, alpine touring or snow board equipment.
Ski Mountaineering Guides are permitted to conduct their profession on all terrains which:
- Includes as the main objective, either ski touring, off-piste and/or mechanized skiing/snow boarding
- Are on slopes 50 degrees or steeper
- May employ use of short-roping techniques with the use of ice axe and crampons
- Requires travel on crevassed glaciers
- Have significant avalanche hazard
- Involve multi-pitch ice or rock
