What does it mean to be an "ambassador"?

Product Tester

Safeback products are on the backs of our ambassadors all season, allowing us to get continuous feedback from them and learn about problems while we are developing the final product.

Community Mentor

Mentorship is a foundational part of backcountry travel, where the voice of experience can be shared with those who need to hear it. Safeback's ambassadors are mentors to our team and content produced with them will be focused on sharing their wisdom and experience in steep terrain.
