What people are saying

"I took the backcountry skiing course and it’s clear from the get-go that Chris is a master of his sport. He’s extremely professional, thorough and thoughtful in his delivery of the content. I’m excited to implement his wisdom in the backcountry this weekend!"
"The quality of Crux Academy is mindblowing! I figured these would be good online courses and there would be big-name instructors; but I'm impressed by how well this is laid out and done! The videos are fantastic and the course is so comprehensive - it goes MUCH deeper than a simple YouTube video."
"Chris's skiing experience and diversity of exposure to various geographies and types of terrain make this course a must"
