When operating or responding in cold weather or arctic environments, multiple factors must be addressed to ensure optimal performance and operational efficiency. Foundational elements include physical fitness, appropriate footwear, and properly layered clothing systems designed for cold-weather operations. Building upon these fundamentals, units must develop terrain-specific movement and navigation skills suited to permanent snowfields, seasonal snow cover, tundra, and glaciated environments.
Our experience includes working alongside special operations forces, special forces units, and other specialized teams conducting missions in these demanding conditions. Proficiency in cold-weather survival, mobility, and terrain negotiation is essential for safe, effective, and sustained operations in cold and arctic environments.

Our arctic and cold weather instructors bring years of professional experience conducting operations, training, and emergency response in cold-weather and arctic environments across mountainous regions worldwide.

Cold weather and arctic survival; cold-weather footwear and layered clothing systems; ice climbing; glacier travel and rescue operations; cold-weather aerial insertion and extraction; remote medicine in cold environments; snow climbing; snowshoeing; skiing; and additional advanced cold-weather operational skills.
We can offer one of our programs listed below or customize a winter or cold weather based program to fit your needs and/or requirements. If your unit or agency operates in winter conditions or environments you NEED to acquire training. Give us a call TODAY to set up a program! (800) 718-1597
