The AMGA mission drives a robust set of core competencies—education, standard setting, and advocacy—that serve to advance the AMGA community and the guiding industry. The mission positions the organization to tackle big industry challenges while also serving individual guides with career development and community.
In 2024, the AMGA executed high-impact initiatives that touched on all three areas of the mission. On the advocacy front, the passage of the EXPLORE Act in December 2024 was a landmark achievement for guides that will give rise to a new era of increased access and streamlined permitting. In the realm of education, the AMGA redesigned the entrance to the Alpine Guide Program to provide terrain-specific training in snow and glacier guiding, and alpine rock guiding. The new programs will enable guides to quickly gain qualification to work in the classic alpine ranges and will better meet the needs of AMGA Accredited Businesses. As a standard-setting organization, the AMGA made important refinements to the AMGA Scope of Practice including the introduction of a terrain complexity scale.
