We skied with Gabby in the Uintas with snowmobile assist. The logistics were terrific as there were snowmobiles waiting at the trailhead all ready to go. Gabby was great as her safety briefing and gear were spot on. She chose an excellent place for us to tour and accommodated our ski preferences exactly. We had a great time and look forward to skiing with her again!
A novice, I cannot have had a better day backcountry skiing with Joel out of bounds from the Canyons. I got patient instruction on everything I needed-- technique, managing equipment, and avalanche basics. He also an amazing photographer making even someone like me look kind of good!
Had an fantastic time getting my AIARE 1 with Shaun and Sam! I came into the course as a last minute attendee who had never skinned/skied the backcountry before. Sam and Shaun did an exceptional job of ensuring that I had the right gear, was using it correctly and felt confident in the terrain that I was on. The skills they taught me were invaluable and I can't wait to see what's next - I have since invested in my own backcountry setup and already signed up for my next course with them!! Additionally, Inspired Summits created a safe space for women, non-binary, LGBTQ+ and BIPOC folks - I highly recommend them for anyone who is looking to get out there.
Inspired Summit Adventures delivers an outstanding experience from start to finish. Their trips are exceptionally well organized, thoughtfully planned, and executed with a level of professionalism that immediately builds trust. Every detail, from logistics to on-mountain support, is handled smoothly, allowing participants to focus fully on the experience rather than the planning. What truly sets Inspired Summit Adventures apart is the quality of their leadership. Every day, Shaun and Sam made sure to address our questions and created a space where we felt comfortable asking anything. They took the time to respond thoughtfully and intentionally, and they made sure that each and every individual learning goal was acknowledged and worked into the experience. Their knowledge, approachability, and genuine care made the environment both supportive and motivating. Whether you are looking to push your limits, build skills, or simply enjoy an unforgettable mountain experience, Inspired Summit Adventures delivers. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a well-run, high-quality adventure with people who truly care about what they do.
Fabulous 24 hours at the ISA yurt for a large family and friends birthday party. The surroundings are magnificent and allow for all kinds of water sports, including lounging in the cold river. 5 of us spent the night in the yurt. So many details made our time comfortable and so enjoyable. I appreciated the individual puffy blankets to add on top of our sleeping bags at night. The huge flat grill and kitchen supply are fabulous and all one needs! Thank you ISA team, I hope to return!
