$446.25 – $472.50
Silverstar women’s downhill camp is one of our favourite weekends of the year! We’re stoked to have you join us for this fun and positive experience whether you’re a first timer to the park or a seasoned jumper progressing your skills.
Hone in your downhill skills on bermed corners, tabletops, drops, and tech. Fly away from this camp with tons more technique for the moves that will have you flowing through the park with confidence and grinning ear to ear.
Day 1 will be spent dialing in a solid body position, learning how to scan through the corners and stick to your line. Next up is getting your wheels in the air – woohoo! Learn the body position and timing for pumping and popping to get those wheels off the ground and then over tabletop jumps. Celebrate your day with an apres social at 5:30pm.
Day 2 we will focus on learning drops and tech for a super well-rounded bike park experience. Our coaches will teach you how to send that front wheel ahead of you for the drops and land smooth and ready for the next move. We finish up by putting it all together -jumps, berms, tech, and flow all while we hoot and holler down your favourite trail.
This weekend is great for any intermediate to advanced rider no matter your bike park experience. There’ll be groups for every level coached by our awesome Level 2 coaches, for those who have never had their wheels off the ground, to those who send it regularly!

LODGING:

GROUPS:
Participants will be grouped together by their ability level. The questionnaire that you fill out during registration will guide us on where to place you. We do our best to match similar levels together, but given the nature of the sport there will always be some differences in ability and fitness levels within every group. These differences can offer a great opportunity to peer learn – the most advanced rider can always benefit from ‘slowing down and getting back to basics’ and a less experienced rider can progress from riding with more advanced riders in a supportive environment.

Each guest will be required to sign a Release of Liability, Waiver of Claims, Assumption of Risks and Indemnity Agreement at time of registration, prior to start of trip.

Our guest cancellation policy is firm and we recommend you purchase a trip interruption/cancellation
insurance policy to avoid disappointment should you need to cancel your trip last minute. Travel insurance can be purchased through World Nomads, or your travel agent. Ensure your travel insurance covers you and your equipment and that your current health insurance covers the unforeseen like medical flights and back-country emergency rescue.
Sweet Skills reserves the right to cancel or adjust a reservation at any time due to minimum participation requirements not being met, or any other circumstance that arises. Should Sweet Skills need to cancel or reschedule your reservation you will be offered 100% credit toreschedule for another date, or option of a full refund.
Cancellations due to a 3rd Party/Unforeseen Circumstances:
Should your booking need to be cancelled due to extenuating circumstances beyond our control, including
(but not limited to): border closures, cancellations of any sort from Lodges or other 3rd party operators, government-initiated shutdowns due to a pandemic or wildfire, extreme weather which is deemed by Sweet Skills to be a safety issue. Sweet Skills may offer you a 100% credit to reschedule for another date, or give you the option of a full refund minus 10% of the deposit paid.
Should any necessary changes affect your pre and/or post-tour travel plans, Sweet Skills will not be responsible for additional expenses incurred by guests (non-refundable airline tickets, rental cars, hotel reservations, etc.) Again, we recommend you have purchased your own trip insurance policy.
Every attempt will be made to adhere to our scheduled itinerary, we do not plan to make changes ahead of time. However, participants acknowledge and willingly accept the possibility of unexpected changes to our route, timings and itinerary. Safety issues, weather and/or any extenuating circumstances beyond our control may contribute to this possibility. Should these changes affect your pre and/or post-tour travel plans, Sweet Skills will not be responsible for additional expenses incurred by guests (non-refundable airline tickets, rental cars, hotel reservations, etc.). No refunds will be given for itinerary changes. We ride rain or shine! Riding in the mountains means we can encounter variable weather at any time and participants must be prepared for this. Weather can also change very last minute, therefore we do not cancel trips with forecasted rain or smoke unless our accommodation and transportation partners are shut down.
