Glad you asked. G3 University is a free online learning platform created by G3 to help you amplify your winter backcountry experience. The ever-growing collection of entertaining and educational lessons - in both blog and video format - spans a broad spectrum of winter backcountry topics from intro level skin care tips to advanced snow travel techniques.
G3 Engineers, UIAGM/ACMG/AMGA-certified guides and G3 Team members share tips and tricks that are intended to improve/increase knowledge around all things backcountry and, ultimately maximize your fun, safety and experience.
Use G3 University lessons as an opportunity to gain perspective/insights and get you interested in learning more about the subject, or for experienced backcountry users to refresh their skills. G3U courses and lessons should not be considered replacements for in-person safety/mountaineering courses nor eliminate the need for continuous field practice.
