AlpenQuest - Company Background AlpenQuest specializes in quality outdoor education through classroom seminars, field sessions, custom courses, and team building exercises, as well as boasting a full line of outdoor rental and demo equipment, and retail sales of survival and outdoor gear. AlpenQuest began in 1979 in Fort Collins, Colorado conducting classes and trips in whitewater rafting, backpacking, survival skills, cross country skiing and backcountry ski touring, winter camping, and teaching conditioning and fitness classes. AlpenQuest’s founder, Greg Wiggins, has become one of the nation’s foremost experts in wilderness and winter survival. During the winter of 1981 - 1982, while located in Crested Butte, Colorado, Quest Survival School, as it was known then, began its intense cold weather survival school for the U.S. Coast Guard Polar Operations Division. This intensive week-long course prepared helicopter pilots, air crewmen, and ship crewmen of the Coast Guard Icebreakers for their deployment to the Polar Regions. The following year the U.S. Navy began utilizing the program to train their personnel for Ice Camp Operations in the Arctic. Since then, AlpenQuest has trained hundreds of personnel from the USCG Polar Operations Division, thirteen U.S. Naval organizations, the Department of Energy, the Division of Wildlife, US Army 10th Special Forces, and numerous other government and civilian agencies, as well as countless private individuals. In January of 1997, AlpenQuest formally incorporated and expanded its operations exponentially. This new team broadened the ideas and horizons of the growing business. AlpenQuest added many new facets to its organization, such as unique team-building and leadership enhancement programs with outdoor themes such as survival and climbing challenges. These courses are designed primarily for businesses, corporations, and government agencies looking to expand their competitive edge, or just build a more cohesive team. AlpenQuest’s expanded line of professional outdoor training includes classes and field sessions such as rock-climbing, snow and glacier travel, ice climbing, Level 1 Avalanche courses, GPS training, and much more. Many top manufacturers in the outdoor industry proudly sponsor AlpenQuest programs. We boast a complete line of rental-demo gear extensively used in the field sessions and expeditions. AlpenQuest is on several research and development teams for these manufacturers, and provide regular feedback and ideas for product improvement and innovations. AlpenQuest is located in Monument/Colorado Springs, Colorado and conducts year-round courses, team building exercises, seminars, field sessions, and expeditions regularly throughout the Pikes Peak Region, the State of Colorado, and around the country. AlpenQuest continues to offer its high quality classroom seminars and field sessions on a wide variety of outdoor-related topics. These presentations and courses can be tailored to suit the needs of specific groups or individuals. We continue to conduct custom tailored courses for government agencies as experts in the field of winter survival and avalanche safety.
