Instruction was solid and the days were well judged for conditions. Nothing fancy about the beds, and nothing wrong with them either. Simple food, well made, and enough of it. Would book with them again.

Snow was good and the group was kept to a sensible size. Dorms were tidy and the common areas were where the group actually gelled. The cooking was a genuine surprise — better than most places we'd have picked ourselves. No hesitation recommending them.
