Backcountry
Basics' "She Can Ride" clinics were created to provide
a non-intimidating instructional environment for women only. Technical
riding skills, rider safety and avalanche awareness are taught on a
private riding range.
A key
learning aspect is the classes are kept small and semi-private. The
curriculum content was structured by veteran instructor Amber Holt and recognizes
the physical and emotional differences needed throughout the learning
experience for the female gender. Holt now offers women's and couples' specific
backcountry riding programs that focus on bringing more women confidently into
the "sport and style" of western riding with the help of Arctic Cat and the
snowmobile tourism industry.
Backcountry
Basics has teamed up with companies like Arctic Cat, Travelers Snowmobile
Rentals, Sawtelle Mountain Resort, Woodie's Arctic Cat and Seven Devils Lodge
to provide riding packages that accommodate a women's backcountry riding experience.
Female enthusiasts who want to explore and experience western riding now have a
step-by-step programs to get them off trail and into the pristine backcountry.
Participants
do not need to own a snowmobile to get started. Valuable instruction, along
with a little bit of pampering, will help women confidently take on the
backcountry through a structured and comfortable pace that allows them to
grasp, finesse and execute fundamental skills with professional guidance.
Ladies will experience every non intimidating aspect needed for success from
Backcountry Basics' structured outdoor classroom to the impacting and positive
experience of real backcountry riding with a licensed guide.
Any female
enthusiast at any skill level is encouraged to register.
Depending
on the location several varied packages are available that include instruction,
guided tour locations, 2013 mountain sleds, meals, spa amenities and more. Travelers
Snowmobile Rental packages include a privately guided tour through Yellowstone National
Park to finish a perfect stay while Seven Devils Lodge includes Teddy's best
homemade 5 star menu in the West.
"His and
hers" packages are a twist off the original She Can Ride package. This package
is a great way to help him, help her in getting started. This package awakens a
unique perception toward her learning needs. They are structured to provide a
getaway package that includes instruction, guide and stay. First days of range
instruction and guided backcountry are planned so that each gender can move at a
comfortable personal pace. Couples then finish their stay with a guided
backcountry experience strengthening this passionate bond of interest together.
