By boosting your skills on single track, tight turns, logs, skinnies, jumps, drops and climbs - they will have your riding the whole mountain with confidence and style.
The program is available to all types of riders, from novice & upwards. It is ideal for those taking a career break and for those wanting an extended holiday in an amazing location. It's perfect for those hoping to join the mountain biking industry, with a two-day Trail Building course included in the program and a three-day MBIT Instructor course offered too. Plus, they will be hosting weekly technical session that will help you learn more about your bike and its maintenance, your fitness and the environment in which you ride.
With nearly 70 varied trails, Fernie is the ideal location for this program. From greens to triple blacks and a range of lift-accessed downhill and all mountain riding, there is something for every stage of your progression!
