Are You Ready for Your Next Adventure?
Dr. Jon and his team at N.O.D Enterprises have decades of experience preparing for endurance events.
From summiting 8000m peaks and preparing for long expeditions, to ski mountaineering, ultra marathoning, fast-packing, triathlons, and more, we know how to progressively train and prepare for challenging adventures. See Jon's Resume.
We offer two types of training experiences (see more details below):
- Monthly training plans customized to you and your specific adventure.
- Live, one day or multi-day onsite training sessions with Dr. Jon in Vail, CO or your own home location.
How often have you arrived at a trailhead in the summer to find hundreds of other people already there? Did you know that in the late fall, winter, and spring, many of these trailheads are deserted? Many people do not have the skills or confidence to navigate the terrain when it's snowy or icy.
Perhaps this describes you. And this is Dr. Jon's specialty, helping people move faster and more efficiently over uneven and unforgiving terrain. Whether you are a beginner wanting to start exploring harder terrain or an experienced climber wanting to advance your technical skills, Dr. Jon can help.
Don't give up on these fun adventures for half the year - contact us today!

Introduction to Expeditions Training
Introduction to Expeditions Training
You have climbed some bigger peaks, requiring some glacier travel and mini expeditions, but you're ready to dream bigger. Or maybe you've been on a longer expedition or attempted an 8000m peak but did not have a good experience.
How do you prepare for the rigors of a high altitude climb? For spending days, weeks, or months on an expedition? Come spend a couple days with Dr. Jon in the CO backcountry (or a location of your choice) and increase your skills, fitness, and confidence that you can succeed. This training can include:
- In-depth details and training to prepare for a multiweek expedition - acclimatizing to high altitudes, what to eat, gear selection, dealing with extreme cold, and more.
- Advanced rope skills
- Advanced winter camping techniques
- Strength training to carry heavy packs
- Climbing techniques to minimize your oxygen demands
