About Us
How It Started
Our story began nearly 25 years ago in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, where we took on the daunting challenge of organizing medical support for the Leadville 100 running and mountain biking ultra races. With no prior experience in managing a large group of medical volunteers for such an event, we found ourselves leading a team of 40 to 50 providers - ranging from EMTs to physicians - through a 24-hour endurance event spanning over 100 miles of some of the most rugged terrain in America. Mistakes were made (plenty of them!), but somehow, we made it through.
Reflecting on it later, we agreed what started as a chaotic undertaking had actually turned out to be pretty solid Type 2 fun. Inspired by our journey and motivated by the need for quality medical support for such events and extreme conditions, we turned our experience into a business. Today, we are proud to be industry leaders in wilderness medical education, providing high-quality medical support services for athletic events, concerts, festivals, and businesses of all types.
Our People
At our core, we believe that a company is only as strong as its people, and we are proud to embody this principle. Our staff is carefully selected not just for their medical expertise and experience, but also for their approachability and interpersonal skills.
Our support and instructional staff includes professional EMTs, paramedics, registered nurses, and physicians, all with years of real-world experience on the streets, in bustling emergency departments, and in the rugged mountains of Colorado and around the world. Our team members work as professional ski patrollers, river guides, climbing and mountaineering guides, and search and rescue technicians. Their diverse backgrounds enrich our services and enhance our ability to respond effectively in any situation.
We are excited to share our knowledge and skills with you, whether through our wilderness medicine and CPR classes or by providing top-notch medical support at your next event.
