Due to the rugged and unpredictable conditions in our backcounty riding areas we require that you go out with a guide.

With a guide you have someone that knows the area and problems riders may encounter; mechanical problems, getting unstuck, avalanche areas or just where to find the best scenery and snow conditions. You can spend your day riding and not worrying about the details. Our guides will not keep you from having a good time rather they will show you the best of what this area has to offer.  You can arrange a private ride at an additional charge.
