Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE ROUTE

West Mountain intermediate play areas

The route spends its time in the West Mountain intermediate play zones south of Tamarack Ski Resort, deliberately off the groomed track to expose riders to varied mountain terrain.

THE SKILLS

Side‑hilling and mountain technique

This tour emphasizes mastering intermediate skills—especially side‑hilling—so riders spend substantial time practicing maneuvers with the confirmation and tips of an experienced instructor.

THE PACE

Custom, focused 3–4 hour session

A three‑to‑four‑hour, tailor‑made outing gives instructors room to build skill circuits and repeat practice zones rather than a simple point‑to‑point ride.

What the day feels like

What the ride feels like

Expect a concentrated mountain‑riding session that leaves groomed corridors for intermediate terrain: the guide selects play areas on West Mountain, sets up practice runs for side‑hilling and other intermediate techniques, and adjusts the tour to rider ability over a 3–4 hour block.
