Do you feel like you are fighting your sled, instead of riding it? Are you watching your buddies do things that you just can't make your sled do? Do you struggle when riding steep or technical terrain? Are you new to the sport? Do you just want to ride with confidence? This is your chance, an opportunity to reach YOUR NEXT LEVEL! Next Level Riding Clinics is your opportunity to explore some of Wyoming's scenic mountain ranges while becoming a better off-trail rider. Let our talented, professional instructors help you become a safer, stronger and more effective back-country rider.
Stop learning the hard way! No matter what sled you ride, your abilities might be the limiting factor. At the end of the day with proper technique, you should be riding your sled, not your sled riding you. Take your riding to the Next Level!
The instructors start each clinic by covering avalanche safety and equipment to insure your preparedness for riding in mountainous terrain. Once on snow the instructors will conduct a skills assessment to check the participant’s ability level and room for advancement. We proceed with technique specific drills to improve sled handling and control.
Clinic riders will be testing and refining their abilities through various gated courses. These gated drills have been known to push and challenge riders of every skill level. Participants will also practice a beacon recovery in a simulated avalanche burial. During the afternoon ride, the riders will have an opportunity to put their newly learned skills to use and experience the difference in their riding.
Our drills and gated courses are designed to simulate specific situations to enhance riders abilities and reaction time.
Participants are taught techniques that when performed correctly improve sled handling and create a balanced, confident rider.
Rider assessment and evaluation allows our instructors to correct positioning and weight transfer, in turn drastically improving sled handling.
Conducting a simulated beacon burial is an eye opening experience that leaves riders aware and alert to avalanche conditions.
A perfect combination of unfamiliar terrain, avalanche safety training, and challenging techniques, strengthens rider competence.
