Whether you’re new to mountain riding or ready to take your skills up a notch\, this hands-on clinic will help you ride with confidence\, awareness\, and control. \nThe course combines avalanche safety education with real-world riding instruction in Alaska’s incredible Turnagain Pass terrain.

Carlen brings years of backcountry expertise and a passion for helping riders — especially young ones — build confidence\, sharpen their technical skills\, and make smart decisions in mountain terrain.
