"I attended the Mtn. Bike Skills Camp in Fernie earlier this month (July 3-4) and just wanted to let you know what an AMAZING time I had. The coaches were fantastic - supportive, encouraging and so, so skilled. I am so much more confident on my bike and can actually brag a little about my newfound technical skills. ...I will definitely be back! Thanks again for such a great experience :)" |

"It was truly epic. I am born and raised in Toronto and I have never connected to this country like I did this past weekend. Fernie is an amazing place for biking and when you partner it with a great Ride Guide it can create a life changing moments. I had Sil for a ride guide and he was the main reason that ride went from good to great. He set-up a ride that took us through the best that Fernie had to offer customizing the ride to meet our challenging requests. Without Sil, I would not have the courage nor the capability to do what I did on that ride. I am a better and happier rider thanks to Sil. I was fatigued and heart broken when the weekend came to an end. I am not sure when I will ever have a chance to do this again but not only will I try, I will also join your ambassador program." |

Both Mark and Johanna were excellent guides and the off-bike time was always fun. They were always very helpful. |

There was no way I could have expected such a great experience in BC. I mean, I knew it would be an adventure, but not as liberating as it turned out. It was likely the hardest and most gratifying thing I have ever done. |

Those two (Ryan and Johanna) are world class instructors, whose teaching styles and approach really got through. I hung on every word, and pushed myself to perfect the skills they taught. |

Not only did I experience the sights and trails of BC, I also was able to shed my fears and really go for it. Can’t wait for the next trip! |

Eddy, your lead guide, is quite something for his young age. He works very hard, he is very attentive, always available and is part of the gang! The food was perfect. Kelly prepared us sumptuous breakfasts every morning, very healthy snacks and most of all always different. She is a great cook and a very nice person. We rode some incredible trails in Fernie...thanks to Eddy that brought us to terrains we could really appreciate and enjoy - technical, fast and with breathtaking views. Fernie is such a great town with all these locals that have a fabulous way of living...bike, ski, chill! It makes us want to move in BC, as soon we convince our wives! Home Lodge felt like we were in St-Sauveur but with a much better view...Lynda is so sweet and welcoming! She made us feel at home letting us use her kitchen for cooking, her CDs for ambiance and her hot tub to relax. She had dinner with the group and we had so much fun. We rode Toby Creek in Invermere, Canyon Creek and hiked Mount Seven to the top. Memorable!!!!! We also hiked Little Beehive on a sunny 30 degrees...breathtaking views over Lake Louise and the glacier... We finished up with Jumping pound and Cox Hill....it was tough but worth the 360 degree view at the top. Everyone had the time of their lives! Again, thanks for everything. We will miss BC and the sun that goes down at 10 PM over the Rockies." |

"You guys were awesome - we had such an amazing time on the tour. You exceeded my expectations with everything........the guides, trails, accommodation, food, atmosphere, and professionalism. Without a doubt Cox Hill was the best trail I have ever ridden. That sweet, sweet single track was worth every minute I spent hauling my ass up the mountain! Kim and Rich thanks for going out of your way to make Gilles and my special day - well special!" |

"The Blackstone Lodge B&B is one AMAZING place to stay! This by far was a huge surprise. It is just the most beautiful and perfect place to chill after riding all day and Ian and Charlotte are the most down to earth, lovely people and have the best service and hospitality I have experienced in a long time... 5 stars!!! Plus their breakfasts were delicious and a perfect way to start the epic days of riding. They can cook, thats for sure!!" |

"Johanna and Breen did such an amazing job and made this trip absolutely exceed my expectations. Johanna's pre ride communications were great and she got the brakes changed over for me to the Australian standard,which was perfect! The trails were epic and just amazing and Johannas knowledge and experience was with out a doubt awesome! Some of the best riding I have ever done and definitely the craziest adventure I have ever had with a bike! I found myself progressing very quickly!" |

"Thanks so much for making a great trip possible! We had a blast on the Fernie 7-day trip. Your team of guides was a winning combo. Cory's coaching skills totally revitalized my riding. He went out of his way to provide extra and individualized skills training and feedback for many of us, amping up the value of the week significantly. With Johanna organizing and leading, he was really free to float around, just making us all better riders.
Thanks again for making all the fun possible. I shall definitely keep the recommendations rolling." |
