The guide team
GSR's guide roster includes owner Aaron Bernasconi — featured in Thunderstruck and Braap films — competitive-riding legend Brett Turcotte for Turcotte riding clinics, and a deep bench of local guides: Sean McCaig, Brad Barnes, Colin Wallace, backcountry photographer Tim Grey, and Jon "Simmy" Simpson, who also teaches avalanche safety with Hangfire Training.
Avalanche skills training
Riding the backcountry without a guide? Get trained. GSR works closely with Golden's Hangfire Training — sled-specific Avalanche Skills Training with nearly a decade of courses behind them.
The entry-level course every mountain rider should have: one part classroom, one part field day. Split it up — classroom in the fall (AB/SK sessions), field day in winter.
The next step: route planning, hazard assessment, travel in varied terrain, snowpack tests and companion-rescue practice for riders who spend serious time out there.
