Skill Level: All levels.
Ride Description: This will be a “run your rust off” ride. Come on out and test out your new gear, make sure your belt isn’t broken, and make sure you’re in shape for the season. This ride will be for all levels and may break into two groups depending on rider skill level. Great ride for new members and new to snowmobiling. Recommend downloading the free COTREX app if you don’t have another winter trails app that shows Vail Pass Winter Recreation Area trails; you can also click VPWRA, where you can download a PDF and/or an Avenza Map for this area.
Riding Clinic: For any interested beginners or advanced beginners, we’ll do a 2-3 hour off-trail riding clinic, where we’ll learn and practice drills for getting on edge and staying on edge in the neutral riding position, getting ourselves out of a tight spot, getting unstuck, and staying on edge across a gentle side hill. Then we’ll ride the rest of the day, practicing what we learned.
Location: Vail Pass – Snowmobile Parking Area. See the map below for map/directions.

Parking lot may or may not be plowed, but it usually is or is well packed down.

Member Ride and Intermediate+'s Riding Clinic - Rabbit Ears N
2026-01-17 08:45 - 16:00 | Rabbit Ears Pass – Muddy Creek Parking Lot, 40.386099, -106.618658
Skill Level: Intermediate, Advanced, or Expert.
Riding Clinic: We’ll ride N out of the parking lot, with very little trail riding…only as necessary to go to meadows and hills with trees that are good for learning and practicing. Recommend downloading the free COTREX app if you don’t have another winter trails app that shows Rabbit Ears trails.
We’ll learn and practice as many of the following skills as we can fit in:

Wrong foot forward getting on edge in tight situations with little room,
Walking sled on edge in a controlled manner in a field, and then progressing to steeper terrain,
Throttle/Brake/Track speed/Counter steering to get and keep sled on edge in the most efficient manner,
Controlled descent on steeper terrain, and 180 at bottom transitioning to a climb,
Using the elevator technique on steeper terrain to control descent,
Stopping sled on edge on steeper terrain, then resuming controlled edge line across steeper terrain,
Transitioning from one edge to the other side on steeper terrain for “best line” management,
Edge control through tighter tree lines,
Neutral riding position vs wrong foot forward in specific conditions (best choice depending on situation).

Location: Rabbit Ears – Muddy Creek Parking Lot. See the map below for map/directions.

Parking lot may or may not be plowed, but it usually is or is well packed down.

Breakfast: None planned.
Pre-Ride Gear Check & Meeting: 8:45a, near Treg’s gray F-150 w/2-place white, Polaris, clamshell trailer. (Be unloaded, geared up, and ready to ride at this time.)
Ride Start Time: 9:00a.
