Know Be You Go!
Before heading out in the back country always make sure that you check the local snow conditions. When you have doubt, those are the days to stay off the steep slopes and play in the meadows.

Everything Mtn Riders
We would like to think we could sled year round, but where we live that is not possible. In the non-sledding time we love to spend time in the back country riding single track exploring our winter zones. During that time of the year we will continue to update all the social media sites and also keep you up to date here.
Avalanche Awareness!
Today some of our riders spent the day with the Utah Avalanche Center guys to get on the hill training. This was the field day of the class and was great to take the class room to the mountains. We practiced and practiced more with our beacons which everyone needs to do. We dug some snow pits to see all the different layers from this seasons snow pack. Some pretty weak layers in there and as more snow comes, those will be the problem layers for sure. Beacon, shovel, and a good probe are a must on the mountain. Check out there website for more classes or your local area avalanche center to see what classes they have to offer. Education is a must and the more you know, the better Rider you’ll be.
Ride Hard, Have Fun, and Return Safe.
