❄️⛷️ Back to learning. Back to the mountain. Back ❄️⛷️ Back to learning. Back to the mountain. Back to why we do this. 🏔️💙

With the holiday rush behind us, the Access Mammoth team kicked off the season’s first Alpine certification clinic on January 12, and the stoke was high 🙌

"Yes, we’re adaptive instructors first and always ♿️❤️
And just as importantly, we are ski and snowboard instructors 🎿🏂 who believe that sharpening our own skills directly elevates the experience we deliver to every client on snow ❄️✨

Clinics like this are about growth 📈: refining technique, earning higher-level certifications, and continuously raising the bar — for ourselves and for the community we serve 🤝

As a PSIA-AASI Western Member School, Access Mammoth proudly embraces inclusion in its fullest sense 🌈
We break down barriers to participation so that people of every age and ability can share the joy, challenge, and connection of mountain sports 🏔️❄️💫

Our mission is simple and powerful:
We create fun, inclusive mountain sports experiences, for everyone! ♿️🎿"
