What happens if there is inclement weather or it is raining?

Course will be running shine or liquid sunshine. Always be prepared with extra clothing during inclement weather sessions. The best way to get comfortable with slippery roots is to take a course when it is raining, there is technique to be learned and this will increase your enjoyment on trails. It is rare for us to cancel a program due to any kind of weather conditions as we do know how quickly weather forecasts can change. Our coaches work hard to be up to date on the best trails for the conditions at the time of the lesson and will adjust and pivot the lessons as required for the expected weather conditions. It is your responsibility that if you aren’t comfortable with the condition to walk the terrain or stay home.
