Riding clinics aren't for everyone. I ride 100-150 days a year and I have a ton of avalanche and wilderness first aid training. This is my third year doing this but it is my first year advertising it. It wasn't cheap to get tenure and insurance but now it's legit. I will be sharing my avalanche training and riding knowledge...and yes, I will take you to my secret areas. There are so many zones here to ride we can find fresh everyday. My goal is for every one of my students to go home a smarter and safer(avy) rider with some new skills.
Chris Burandt and I used to ride together every day back in CO. A few years ago he started a guiding business and I moved to BC. We have both been very successful with a certain cliental...but like I said, maybe not for everyone. I understand if you don't want to attend a BIG MOUNTAIN RIDING CLINIC but please at least take an AST1 avalanche course. I personally feel that short course should be mandatory for backcountry users. You could save your own or someone elses life. Please sign up for one this year. I have a family and I know they want me to come home every night. I want you to go home every night too.
Now somebody start doing the snowdance again please...we could use a refresh.

The response of a true professional.
I thought this thread was going in the toilet but after Chris's response not so. I would love the opportunity to ride with the pros but that work thing seems to get in my way. Some day though.
