The business runs a varied schedule of half‑day and multi‑session experiences, including high‑end e‑bike rides toward lakeside routes and Arrowtown, skills sessions on trails like Bush Creek, shuttle services for Coronet Peak, and venue‑based lessons at Cardrona Alpine Resort and 7‑Mile Recreation Reserve.
Coaching covers beginner to advanced topics, with structured focus on body positioning, cornering, jump technique and downhill gravity skills. Women’s courses and progressive multi‑week programs include video feedback and tailored lesson plans. Youth sessions emphasise safety, gears, braking and terrain reading and are designed to build confidence and teamwork during school holiday programs.
Private lessons provide one‑on‑one instruction, route selection and take‑home resources such as skills PDFs; some sessions include unlimited chairlift access where available. Shuttle and transport offerings include custom pickups, premium bike handling and local trail advice to simplify the riding day.
