Idaho Backcountry Ladies Ride
☃️ Get ready for the 9th annual Idaho Ladies Ride!! 🥳❄️

This will be hosted at Mountain Village Resort in Stanley, ID.

☃️Ride days will be Friday the 20th, and Saturday the 21st. All skill levels are welcome, we will split into smaller groups for varied terrain and riding abilities.

☃️Avalanche beacon, probe, shovel, and radio are required to attend, as well as a backpack or avy bag to carry your rescue items and daily necessities. We will be playing it safe in the terrain we explore and avoiding avalanche danger. However, we always advocate for safety and smart choices which includes always being prepared and knowledgeable about your equipment and gear, and wearing it daily regardless of terrain choice.

☃️ We will be riding out of Mountain Village Resort, conditions permitting, however you are welcome to book lodging elsewhere if you’d like. Most guests stay at the Resort as we’ll be based there for the event.

❄️ These are some basic guidelines for this event.

☃️While we both like to have a beverage or two, during our rides we do not tolerate drug or alcohol use on the mountain. Nicole and I prioritize your safety first and foremost while we are shredding our faces off and breaking sled parts. If something was to happen on the mountain, as can happen with any kind of backcountry motorized activity, we would prefer alcohol not be a part of that equation. We appreciate your support on this matter and we will have plenty of time to kick back a few after the ride once we are back at the motel.

☃️We look forward to seeing you in Stanley!!! 🥳
