January MTB course for junior skiers, 3 x half a day

Three x 3 hours MTB program at Dinner Plain & Bright, between the 21st & 23rd of January, 2022.

First day, Friday at Dinner Plain. Followed by two half a day ride without shuttles at Bright. 

Skills sessions run by former Australian MTB DH National Team Coach / ex pro racer / full time MTB coach: Julia ‘Indi’ Boer and her experienced coaching team, in small groups.

This is the time to get more comfortable and skilled on your MTB, and get fitter. 

There are lots of similarities between gravity based snow and MTB disciplines. Balance, coordination, speed, fitness, mindset, picking correct lines, looking ahead & turning in decisively. Also, edge pressure on the pedal platforms & linking turns together. The list goes on.

MTBing is one of the most accessible sports all year round, which perfectly complements snow sports.

Tap into our knowledge to get more skilled, faster and fitter; that is our money back guarantee!

Mixed gender groups.
