In the mountains, education is a never-ending pursuit—regardless of experience level. That’s why in this year’s Skills Guide dives deep into the decision-making processes, tools, gear and workshops to help those at all skill levels travel more safely. Inside, we break things down by skill level—from novice to veteran—and offer up ways to hone everything from kickturns to rescue practice and the gear, classes and tools to take your knowledge to the next level. From there, we celebrate those who’ve dedicated their lives and careers to improving mountain safety. We highlight 34 visionaries, engineers, scientists, educators and innovators who have dug deeply into awareness, science and research, in turn making the mountains more accessible and those who travel through them safer.
