American Mountain Guides Association

For over 25 years, the American Mountain Guides Association (AMGA) has been dedicated to supporting the guiding community through excellence in education, standards and certification to enhance the quality of services provided to the public, while serving as a resource for accessing and protecting the natural environment. As a group the AMGA presents a strong, unified voice for high standards of the professionalism of guiding and climbing instruction in the United States. The AMGA is an organization grounded in powerful tradition that continues to evolve with the ever changing arena of mountain guiding and climbing instruction.

Snow Leopard Trust

Since 1981 the organization has been actively committed throughout the world to protecting and studying the snow leopard, a species at risk of extinction. The animal’s natural habitat is the mountains: this is why we can identify so closely with the snow leopard. We are very proud to support this project and under the terms of our multi-year partnership, we do our very best to support the Snow Leopard Trust, through donations, the supply of equipment and public relations activities.

Lécole Nationale de Ski et d´Alpinisme (ENSA)

The Ecole Nationale de Ski et d'Alpinisme (ENSA - National School of Skiing and Alpinism) is a public establishment that has been commissioned by the State to improve the management of mountain sports jobs, to carry out studies and analyses in the area of mountain safety and to contribute to training high-level sportspeople. In Europe, the ENSA extends its action by receiving and participating in training managers and trainers from the European space. It also places its expertise at the service of distant missions in the area of training and development.

Because the ENSA has an exceptional training ground: the Mont-Blanc range, and because it brings together a team of teachers and managers who have forged their know-how on the world's pistes and summits, it takes part in innovating and evolving skiing and alpinism techniques and materials.

The ENSA works under the aegis of the Ecole Nationale des Sports de Montagne (ENSM - National School of Mountain Sports).
