Big turns. Pillows. Cliffs. Freeride is the freedom of choice – as different as the terrain and as individual as the rider. You’ll be joined on this clinic with a special guest as we search and discuss the possibilities, plan lines, and look for the best spots in the backcountry. It’s all about your style and your options to play with the terrain and snow conditions.
