SUMMARY:zz - Mountain Riders Skills Clinic – Turnagain
DESCRIPTION:Mountain Riders Skills Clinic – Turnagain\, Alaska\n📅 Saturday\, January 10\, 2026🕘 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM📍 Turnagain\, Alaska (Monument Main Parking Area)💲 $175 | 10 Student Limit \nIf you’re ready to take your mountain riding skills to the next level — safely and confidently — this clinic is for you! \nThe Mountain Riders Skills Clinic combines avalanche safety education with real-world riding instruction in Alaska’s legendary mountain terrain. The goal of this course is twofold: to give you the tools to manage mountain terrain safely\, and to build the riding skills you need to stay in control and have fun in the backcountry. \nParticipants will:❄️ Learn to select safe routes through avalanche terrain❄️ Practice effective avalanche rescue techniques❄️ Develop control and confidence on steep\, technical slopes \nIn the technical riding portion\, you’ll work on throttle and brake control\, foot placement\, sled balance\, and reading terrain to maintain flow and control. We’ll start with basics on an open hillside before taking those skills into more challenging terrain throughout Turnagain Pass. \nWe’ll also cover practical topics such as:❄️ How to get unstuck efficiently❄️ What gear to carry in the backcountry❄️ How to set up your sled for maximum performance \nInstruction team:This clinic will be led by Carlen Thiessen\, a graduate of Chris Burandt’s Mountain Rider School. Carlen brings years of backcountry expertise and a passion for helping riders build confidence\, sharpen their technical skills\, and make smart decisions in mountain terrain. He will be assisted by a second instructor (to be announced closer to the event date)\, a certified avalanche instructor who will lead rescue skills and riding protocol components. \nBy the end of the day\, you’ll have the knowledge and confidence to safely navigate technical terrain\, respond effectively in avalanche scenarios\, and ride smarter\, stronger\, and safer. \nRecommendations:✅ Mountain sled (146” track or longer\, 2”+ paddle) recommended✅ Watch our Mountain Riding YouTube playlist before class✅ Required gear: beacon\, probe\, shovel\, and full winter riding gear \nOnce registered\, you’ll receive a detailed gear list and meetup instructions via email. \nMembership RequiredParticipation in this event requires an active Alaska Safe Riders membership.
