If you’re reading this post, you’re probably reading it because you were lead to it by one of our social media outlets. And you might not be aware that we have other social media outlets that provide different information.
American Alpine Institute Facebook
Our primary social media interaction takes place through our primary Facebook account. We promote our blogs, interesting articles and our programs on this feed. Occasionally, we also post photos and videos.
The primary Facebook account is super busy and we have conversations with climbers, mountaineers, hikers and backcountry users every single day on this medium.
The Equipment Shop at the American Alpine Institute Facebook
Our Equipment Shop is a gem in the outdoor industry, with a focus on climbing, mountaineering, backcountry skiing, splitboarding, and backpacking. With carefully selected items that range from expedition equipment to outfitting your first day on the trail, our shop staff are constantly testing and trying out new gear so that you don’t have to. Check in for updates on new gear, services, Guides Choice testing reviews, and tech tips.
AAI Vocational Programming Facebook
In addition to courses and ascents, AAI is also a Washington State Vocational School. We provide courses for people who would like to be outdoor educators, guides, backcountry rangers and ski patrollers. Our Vocational Facebook Group was designed to provide those who are going through our vocational programs with:
- A place for our vocational students to talk to each other.
- A place for us to promote vocational programs to those interested.
- A jobs board. Many, many, many jobs in the outdoor industry, in outdoor education and in guiding come across our desks. We post them all here.
