Altus Mtn Club
The global mountain adventure club, built to connect, educate, and inspire our community.
Education
Mountain education is a core value for the Altus Mtn Club, we have structured our content delivery to educate our members, whilst achieving an inclusive, approachable, and accessible learning environment. First off, we have custom one-of-a-kind online courses ranging from Glacier Travel to Top Rope climbing, we are continually creating online courses and content to educate our members. Coupled without our extensive online content we run face-to-face courses, taught by ACMG guides, that are structured to bring people together to learn how to safely play in the mountains.
Mentorship
Great education is nothing without the continued support and feedback from an experienced leader, this is why we have integrated a mentorship program into the club. Throughout your membership with the club we will connect you with Mentorship opportunities as well as create new mentors throughout our membership base.
Community
Connecting with and building up our community is integral to the Altus Mtn Club, we believe that by engaging with each other and our hobbies we can empower each other to thrive together. Ultimately learning skills and experiencing what the mountains have to offer is what brings us together, and uniting under these common goals is what the Altus Mtn Club is all about. To foster this environment we provide a platform through three methods: online forums, events, and trips.
The Altus Mtn Club is designed to create better accessibility to high-level education, outdoor experiences and connect with other mtn enthusiasts.
Online Courses
Our team of certified guides has created a range of online courses to teach you the skills to feel more comfortable to adventure outdoors. As well as to serve as an ongoing resource to brush up on any skills you might have lots during the offseason. Courses will continue to be added from Ski Touring, Rock Climbing, Alpine Climbing and Trail Running. All online courses range from 1 - 5 hours in duration.
Outdoor Courses
With the Altus guides team and teaming up with other local guiding businesses, you will have access to a range of outdoor courses in your local community. Find accessible education from certified guides.
Events
Community is the key element to safe and enjoyable mountain adventures. Building momentum from your peers, inspiration from pros, or finding your next adventure partner. From free skills events, evening slide shorts or our annual Winterstoke and Skyfest festivals we create opportunities to build mtn community.
Mentorship
Learning from one another and building relationships forged in outdoor experiences is a key mission of the Altus Mtn Club. Membership will provide you access to mentorship opportunities with certified guides as well as from club members.

Knowledge is power and we want to share our knowledge! All mtn club members can chat with one of our certified guides for advice on: gear, conditions, route beta, and more. We are here to help you decide and prepare for your next outdoor adventure.

Mentorship
How it works
Our mentorship program is open to any and all mountain users. We will initially focus on backcountry skiing, rock climbing, mountaineering and trail running. Members are able to apply to be connected with another member of the club, or a certified guide to work with for a 6 month period. All mentors will have the mentorship of a certified guide, these mentors are then able to mentor another member of the club. All mentors are included in a range of training programs and seasonal check-in with a certified guide to facilitate their educational journey.
