🌲 Tree riding 🌲 You know when you stare at

🌲 Tree riding 🌲

You know when you stare at a tree thinking ‘don’t hit that tree, don’t hit that tree’ then bam you hit the tree? Ya we have all been there! Tree riding is hard, read below for some tips on how to do a little less logging and more riding.

➡️ Look where you want to go. Not sure why this is so hard for us to do but it really is! Pick your line through the trees and focus on that. Remember you go where you look.

➡️ Dial in those carves and side hills in the open. Gain confidence with your sled skills and then start with widely spaced trees. Practice craving around and through one or two trees to start.

➡️ Find somewhere you can follow a trail or road to the top and practice downies through the trees. Though throttle commitment is still required you can go slower than climbing up through the trees.

➡️ You will get stuck … like a lot. That’s half the fun! Have a saw and we love to have a big shovel (love the tuffy) on our sleds so we don’t have to pull our Avy shovel out of our backpack.

Ladies sled camp dates are up. Join a crew of like minded ladies to dial in this sled skills 💃

Life is hard. Make it easier with group check!

Every day before we head out into the backcountry we do a transceiver check to make sure everyone is on and functioning properly.

Some transceivers have a group check function which is lovely. While not necessary it makes life easier.

Group check reduces the range of the avalanche transceiver (usually down to 1 meter). This allows you to check one person at a time within your 1 meter bubble instead of picking up the whole dang parking lot.

You can do a transceiver check by switching your transceiver onto search if you don’t have a group check function. You can imagine how busy it gets when you pick up everyone within 50 meters.

Do you use the group check function?
