Linda took our cornering clinic a few weeks ago and was ready to take it to the big berms! She wanted some specific feedback so she could start riding them with more speed and confidence. We accomplished that today, especially with the video feedback. She is dedicated to improving her skills even after riding for so many years, what an inspiration!
Women of Adobe
We had a private clinic with the women of @adobe tonight. Such a fun group with lots of enthusiasm to improve their skills! Excited to work with them a few more times to really step up their game. #morewomenonbikes

Beginner Clinic July 13-14
All smiles at today’s clinic! We had a really fun group that learned quickly. We love working with beginners and watching their progress throughout the day.
Rock gardens, berms, switchbacks. Give these women any challenge and they will take it on! Their positive attitude made anything possible!
The night before our clinics, we host a meet and greet where we look over everyone’s bike fit and then have a great mobility session thanks to coach Kristen Lane.
Backcountry Interns!
Private session with the Backcountry interns, with our matching “Full suspension” jerseys and shorts! David and Derek are new to mountain biking and after 3 hours of skills and riding, they are hooked! They took on each new skill with enthusiasm and had great questions about bikes and local trails. Welcome these to brilliant minds to the mountain biking world!

Cody is flying!
We have another woman with her wheels off the ground! Cody came to a beginner clinic last summer and has been practicing her skills ever since. She was ready to take it to the next level, wanting to learn the manual, the wheelie and get some air! We did that all today in a 4 hour private session!

Repeat Client taking it to the next level!
Gretchen came to a clinic earlier this year and was ready to take her skills to a trail near her home that sometimes challenges her.
She wanted to carry her speed throughout the trail from top to bottom.
We worked on most of the corners and different rock sections one by one then we rode the whole trail at once so she could feel how this trail can flow. The last time down she said it was her fastest yet!
Friend’s clinic
Friend’s clinic! This group of women was ready for more skills after their desert clinic! We worked on corners on their home trails.
Book a session with your friends today by emailing info@womeninthemountains.com!
Rollout App Clinic
The @rollout_app clinic last weekend was an absolute blast! Make sure you sign up for their next event they are hosting with @skyemountainco_ on the Rollout app. Thanks to @selective_vision_ for these incredible photos!
Cornering clinic
Tara from Jackson Hole!
Family Clinic
Family clinic! Gretchen took a clinic earlier this year and wanted her parents and sister to have a similar experience. Coach Shelly worked with them to improve their riding through technical terrain and features. Learning side by side, they each gained more confidence in their skills!
They can ride mountain bikes together as a family with grown children. We are inspired by this rad family!
Thanks to Jamis Bikes for the demo bikes for the women and Gregory Packs for supplying them with testing packs!
Intro Series conclusion
The weekly intro series was completed today! The coaches were grateful for all the effort each of the women brought to this series. Shelly and Kristen enjoyed watching each of them improve and enjoy the challenges they put them through.
Julie
Julie came to us ready for some coaching after experiencing some frustration at her ability to keep up when riding with family and friends. Coach Kristen took her through some fundamental movements and turning mechanics. They were able to identify asymmetrical turning movements that were making switch backs tough. Now Julie has a frame work for switchbacks and she’s ready to practice what she learned.
Park City Beginner Mountain Bike Clinic for Women
This group of beginners had an excellent time yesterday! We had some first-timers as well as some that have ridden for a while and haven’t ever received instruction. They learned in a non-intimidating atmosphere just how much easier mountain biking can be with these skills! Well done to each of them!
Thanks again to ESI Grips for supporting this clinic and letting us takeover their IG! We have many more #esigrips fans now that they each have a color of grips they love!
The night before the clinic we met for a bike check and a hip mobility session. Meeting the night before adds the reassurance the all the bikes are in great working order and we are ready to rock the next day!

Anyone can learn this!
This woman is about to turn 60, and today, in her second private session, she said “if I can learn this, anyone can!” She has been frustrated with her climbing skills, cornering and descending. Over two weeks we have built her to a whole new level of confidence!
