Looking for best riding area in bc for beginners

[Summit806]

Hi just wondering if anyone can help me out. I'm trying to get the old lady into mountain riding. What would be the best area to start?

We always take new riders to Bell Mountain in McBride, pretty tame riding there.

Renshaw is good around the cabin too.

clemina in valemount is a good area as well for newbies, nice big new cabin and lots of low elevation riding around the creek and meadow

Quartz creek in golden is good, 15km to cabin lots of flat places to learn

X2 for Belle in McBride.

 

[Stg2Suby]

Honestly almost any of the more popular riding areas consist of an easy trail ride to the cabin and multiple beginner places to play in proximity to the cabin

Dome mountain, Smithers

Boulder at Revy, nice groomed trail nice cabin and easy groomed access to the alpine.
All the popular areas should be great to start out

Crowfoot is a great beginner area but a bit on the far side from Edmonton. Allen Creek has a nice short ride in and some good simple terrain around the cabin.

Fernie was great for my first year last year also McBride bell

Belle Mountain in McBride is safest bet for teaching new riders.

Maybe don’t say dumb stuff to a guy asking a serious question. Especially a beginner.

like sking, yer buds always take ya to the black diamond runs. a few easy area's before and around the lake. best to stay out on an overcast or snowy day, as the snow definition is bad,

 

[imdoo'n]

otherwise, silent pass is good, quartz creek, lots of family friendly riding area's.

Yep, another vote for Clemina. The wife an I usually head there, nice cabin, a variety of easy terrain to learn and explore
