It was truly the experience of a life time.

I’ve done sled trips, avalanche 1 classes and next level riding clinics but to put all that together in one action packed week, was a dream come true. The accommodations were over the top. When we first met the team at Rich Ranch they said they wanted us to feel like we were at home. They did make me feel like at home. The entire team, from kitchen staff to the barn help to the guides to the owners, they all had smiles and all seemed to enjoy having us there. The instruction team was top notch. I was able to capture about 45 minutes of Craig’s time on the snow and he was awesome. I also got about the same amount of time with Cameron and he was awesome. He took the time to explain and demonstrate. Again, truly top notch. Karl and Shannon-AWESOME is the only word to describe them. They are a great team and yet were able to make me feel completely at ease with either of them leading our group. They all pulled and pulled and pulled getting everyone unstuck. Truly an awesome team. Brian and Mike are a great team. They both are extremely knowledgeable and complement each other very well. Mike is more detailed and Brian has the ability to make it all flow together and very easy to understand. Tharin H. ~ Sequim, WA
