years and are ready to take it to the next level? Whatever your riding abilities, our certified, experienced mountain bike coaches have

the trails of Fernie or Fernie Alpine Resort (DH camp), with lodging,

nutrition and fitness.

proper braking technique, gear shifting, and breaking up into different
skill level groups. After skills training, we'll had back to the lodge
for a hearty homemade lunch on the deck of our lodge. When we've had
our fill and had time to digest, we'll head out to the trails for a
full afternoon of riding to test out some of our new skills. After
riding for several hours, we'll return to the lodge and if the weather
permits, we'll take in some additional activities such as swimming in
the nearby Elk River before heading out to a local restaurant for
dinner.n.b. dinner is not included in the trip price.Day 2 (Sunday)
After breakfast, we'll spend the morning working on more skills at
Fernie's brand-new skills course. After a full morning of riding, we'll
stop for lunch and fuel up for a big afternoon of biking. We ride to
Ridgemont, ground zero for the Fernie mountain biking scene. There are
dozens of trails fanning out from the fire road access, which can be
linked up, and we'll pick and choose the best ones, such as 'Kid's
Stuff' (an introduction to technical stunt riding with small stunts
very close to the ground), 'Splitting Bears' and 'Eric's Trail' (a
great descent). We'll finish riding at 5 pm to give you ample time to
return to Calgary or wherever else you may be coming from.
