Introduction to Mountain Sledding Level 1

Are you looking to gain confidence on your machine?  Do you want to have the ability to initiate off trail turns, climb slopes without getting stuck, learn and practice the fundamentals of sidehilling, getting unstuck, and of course negotiate terrain confidently and make good group decisions?

Beginner riders can benefit dramatically from a few simple skills and techniques, especially when time is taken to break the skills down into simple easy to practice steps.  If you are new to mountain sledding this is the perfect opportunity to develop proper muscle memory, and if you are veteran we can break technical moves down to make sure we using as little energy as possible to get the job done!

Although it might seem technique is at the top of the agenda we also spend time on pre-trip planning, safe riding habits, terrain management and selection, as well as group dynamics.  This clinic is a great follow up to any AST1 course.

We keep our group sizes small to ensure you get the most out of your experience with us.  No prerequisite courses required, however we do strongly recommend taking an AST1 Course (Avalanche Skills Training 1).
