Intermediate Clinic

Located in the rugged wilds near Cody, Wyoming, Beartooth Rides and Guides offers the Ride Rasmussen Style Intermediate Clinic—a nine-hour deep dive tailored for snowmobilers ready to sharpen their mountain skills. This isn’t your average snowmobiling lesson; it’s a hands-on immersion into the Ride Rasmussen Style technique, known for its focus on precision, balance, and efficiency in challenging backcountry terrain. Cody, a gateway to Yellowstone’s eastern entrances and the Beartooth Mountains, sits amid dramatic geological features including granite peaks, alpine meadows spotted with sagebrush, and dense conifer forests.

The terrain here demands savvy navigation—steep banks, tight tree runs, and unpredictable snow conditions that reward the rider who masters terrain management. This intermediate clinic is designed for riders who understand the basics and want to elevate their game. Under expert instruction from Rasmussen Mountain Guides, participants refine body positioning to conserve energy and maximize control.

Sidehilling skills improve as riders learn to link smooth carves across slope gradients, adjusting fluidly to variable snowpack and natural obstacles. The curriculum covers complex transitions like uphill and downhill maneuvers, hop turns, and threading through tight forested corridors. Beartooth Rides and Guides grounds its teaching in the local ecosystem and outdoor ethics, emphasizing sustainable riding to minimize environmental impact.

The clinic’s approach reflects the rugged spirit of the Powder River Basin and Shoshone National Forest areas, where wilderness preservation balances with recreational access. For riders seeking confidence and technical command on Wyoming’s backcountry slopes, this clinic offers a unique upgrade. It prepares riders not just to pass through terrain, but to move with finesse and efficiency, unlocking new confidence for advanced mountain snowmobiling adventures.
