Join North Cascades Mountain Guides, on what is surely a trip of a lifetime, the fabled European High Route. This is undoubtedly one of the worlds most spectacular ski tours, and with the support of the French and Swiss Alpine Club, huts can be comfortably achieved by most advanced skiers.

NCMG Owners Jeff Ward, Larry Goldie, and Josh Colle are instructors and examiners for the American Mountain Guides Association guide training and certification programs.  

We often get requests from guides going through the AMGA training program for either additional training for advanced courses or structured preparation for an exam.  If you would like to prepare for an upcoming course or exam please get in touch with us as soon as possible.  Their schedules fill up quickly, especially right before the alpine and ski exams (late summer and late winter).

Standing at 19,340 ft. Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa, offers an adventure of a lifetime. Join NCMG owners Matt Walker and Josh Cole on an expedition to one of the most unique mountains in the world.

Kilimanjaro is an amazing experience and unique in its attributes: high elevation summit, equatorial climate, east African cultural immersion, wild game safari, and an opportunity to summit one of the most iconic mountains in the world!
