"Markus Beck provided a lively experience and never let me get the feeling I was beyond my capability on the rock." Shelly Duvont, Boulder, CO.
"Markus was professional, highly skilled and proficient. I felt safe and confident with all aspects of our climbing experience. Knowing that I was a novice, Markus was reassuring with me during every phase of the climb." Dana Jarvis, Atlanta, GA.
"...you bring true meaning to 'professional guides'." Alex Frey, New York, NY
"I like the ability to learn, not just be guided which AWA provides." Paul Rogers, Lafayette, CO.
“I would trust Markus to guide not only myself, but also my children and my clients. I have known enough guides and know enough about technical climbing and backcountry skiing to recognize that Markus is one of the top in his field. His experience comes from guiding 100% of the time for a living- he is simply an absolute professional who constantly makes the right choices, who is also personable and fun to hang out with for the duration of your experience, local or internationally.” Keira Reidel, Denver, CO
"My AWA experience was amazing. I was impressed not only with the professionalism of the guide, but also by the flexibility of traveling with a small company adjusting plans on the fly to suit my needs and ability, weather, route conditions, etc." Jim Clarke, Boulder, CO.
"I love climbing with Markus because he challenges me to push my personal limits without worrying about my safety. I get better each time I climb with him." Mary Weber, Dallas, TX.
"The professionalism, expertise, teaching skills, and experience of the instructors is what makes AWA so special. My expectations were by far exceeded and i will recommend your avalanche safety program to anyone in a heart beat." Craig Fadden, Denver, CO.
"I just wanted to thank you again for a great avalanche course. You folks provide exceptional instruction, and most importantly, your passion for skiing and teaching is evident. Back at work today, I realized how much I learned from you guys, not just information, but also from your passion, demeanor, and patience. I also realized today that your passion for what you do reinvigorated me, and gave me a great new perspective on what i do. Life is good! Also, I appreciated it when you guys clearly went above and beyond the call of duty to stay late and hash out questions from dim witted knuckleheads like me; such patience!" Rob Bannister, Steamboat Powder Guides
"Thanks for the great level 2 course. I took a lot from it and feel like I now have a deeper understanding of all the factors that affect the snowpack. Returning to work after the course, I find myself looking at our terrain more thoughtfully and feel that the time spent with you was very beneficial. I also enjoyed witnessing your leadership style." Kathleen Schaefer, Steamboat Powder Guides
