The Experience

Have you always wanted to explore the backcountry and test yourself out with some longer backcountry rides? Then these 3 day camps are for you!

On the Ladies Explorer Camp, intermediate riders will have the opportunity to experience overnighting in the backcountry, while riding some of the best trails in the South Chilcotins. This camp includes a float plane drop to the beautiful Warner Lake, amazing single-track riding, two nights backcountry accommodation at Spruce Lake with awesome coaches. This will be the highlight of your summer!

The Alpine Adventure Camp for advanced riders goes even higher into the wilderness and has the opportunity to climb up over mountain passes to ride camp-to-camp. Enjoy a floatplane drop off at Lorna Lake that will take you to technical and flowy alpine single-track through mountain passes, and past alpine lakes.

    Mountain Bike – Technical Skill

    Advanced Novice:
    You enjoy riding singletrack that has small obstacles that may include roots and rocks that are a couple inches tall, as well as some mud and sand. You understand how to shift your gears and are often able to shift your gears in response to terrain. You are learning how to use both front and back brakes to control your speed, and to be comfortable and reasonably balanced standing up off your seat while descending. You are just learning how to climb effectively. Exposure is still intimidating.

    Intermediate:
    You are comfortable riding singletrack that has various obstacles including tight trees, mud, small loose rock, roots, and sand. You are able to mostly shift gears in response to terrain demands and use both front and rear brakes to control your speed. Descents are fun as long as they do not contain any obstacles and everything is easily and visibly rollable. You are practicing shifting your weight forward while climbing over technical terrain. Exposure with little to no consequence is fine.

    Advanced:
    You love riding singletrack and aren’t deterred by obstacles including roots and rocks that are up to 6” tall, loose sand and rock, mud, tight trees and corners. You are able to shift gears in response to terrain and modulate both front and back brakes in steep terrain. Descending is super fun and you are not intimidated by long descents with obstacles. You are able to climb technical singletrack and understand how to shift your body weight to achieve ultimate traction. Exposure is acceptable on moderate trails.

    Expert:
    You love to ride your bike in all terrain. Tight trees and corners, loose rock and sand, long descents with obstacles are all welcomed challenges that make the ride more fun. Modulating both front and rear brakes in varied terrain is a given, and shifting your body weight over your bike to respond to the terrain is brainless. Long descents with obstacles are exciting, and exposure with reasonable consequences often goes unnoticed.

FAQs

  • Yes, so come prepared to do so with a suitably sized backpack-recommend 20 litre pack as a minimum.

  • Yes. You must have a good amount of experience mountain biking and be a strong intermediate rider at minimum (see our self rating scale here).

    Riders must be comfortable with changing gears, braking, mounting and dismounting their bike in uneven terrain.

    Riders should have the ability to pedal and/or walk with their bike uphill for short to long periods of time, and they must be comfortable descending moderately technical downhill sections. Riders must be able to ride in control at all times.

  • The trails are considered backcountry and remote in nature. The riding overall is cross-country/all mountain in style.

    You can expect a mixture of the following:

    • Rolling single track terrain made up of some ups and downs, combined with some flatter sections of trail-sandy in nature the closer you get to the valley,

    • Occasional short up hills that require a good base level of fitness, and a burst of effort to ride or a small hike-a-bike,

    • If starting from Warner Lake – sections of somewhat technically challenging riding along the rocky shores of two alpine lakes, and across some rock slides. Requires good bike handling skills and good concentration,

    • Some short sections of single track that can be a little off camber and/or slightly exposed.

    • The usual trail hazards, such as roots and rocks.

  • We strongly recommend you bring a dual-suspension (fork at the front and shock in the rear) mountain bike designed for cross-country/all mountain trails that has hydraulic disk breaks, not V-Brakes. Downhill style bikes and fat bikes are not recommended.

    Your bike should be well maintained and ideally recently serviced. The working condition of the brakes (including the amount of brake pads remaining), the shifting of gears, state of the tires, bolt tightness, cable housings, and derailleur alignment should all be good.
