Winter Wildlands Alliance
Description: The Alliance is the first and only national organization working to promote and preserve winter wildlands and a quality human powered snow sports experience on public lands. Grassroots groups from Idaho, Colorado, California and Nevada joined forces in February 2000 to form WWA and create a coalition of activists who share ideas and resources, and to give a national voice to our issues.

American Mountain Guides Association(AMGA)
The AMGA is a 501(C)(3) non-profit organization, which offers training and certification for rock climbing, alpine climbing, and ski mountaineering guides in the areas of leadership, judgement, client care, technical expertise, rescue, and environmental consciousness. The AMGA certifies those individuals who demonstrate a high level of knowledge and ability in each of these areas at the accepted international standard.
The AMGA is the only internationally recognized organization that has a comprehensive training and evaluation program for mountain guides in the United States. Membership into the International Federation of Mountain Guides Association (IFMGA) gives the AMGA certification international recognition. This also confirms that individual guides who have been through an AMGA certification program are operating at established international standards. We recommend you hire an AMGA / IFMGA certified guide on your next outdoor adventure
