In your courses, you will learn about the tourism industry, risk management, event management marketing, guiding and leadership skills, wilderness first aid, environmental stewardship and gain the communications skills necessary for you to succeed in the mountain bike industry.  A main focus of the program will be on sustainable park and trail design and building.  In the design and building courses, students will have the opportunity to gain practical skills and knowledge by working with expert trail builders.  The program is geared to students who are passionate about mountain biking and who are interested in being involved in this fast-paced growing industry.

Each year, as part of the Park and Trail Design and Building courses, students work on community park or trail projects under the guidance of their instructors, Jay Hoots and Daniel Scott.  We are fortunate to receive Land Managers and community support for these projects.  Below is a list of areas where projects have been completed since the start of the program.
