1682.0. "MT. SNOW ATB SCHOOL" by ELMAGO::DLIEURANCE () Thu Aug 02 1990 01:45

    
     I was looking thru the latest issue of MBA on seen a small write
    up on a Moutain Bike school held at Mt. Snow in Vermont. Has anybody
    been to this event? The article said they offerd both two and four
    day seminars, the four day being much more involved.
     
     Being from out here in the west, mainly Albuquerque and the rest
    of northern N.M., I thought it would be a good way of seeing some
    of the northeast and get some killer ATB'ing in. If you have anyone
    has more info it would be appreciated. 
    
          Thanks,
    
                     Don - who loves thrashing his KONA!

    A windsurfing friend of mine is very good friends with the guy
    who started the school, his name is Dave Klondike.  He said that
    the school is excellent.  They form groups according to their skill level,
    and teach you everything from log hopping, to topographical map
    reading.  I believe they also have "guided tours".  
    
    My boyfriend and I just started riding mountain bikes this summer
    and have decided to goto school in the spring.
