Our Intermediate Ride Rasmussen Style Clinic is for riders who already understand the basics of mountain snowmobiling but are ready to take their skills—and their confidence—to the next level. As an official Ride Rasmussen Style Provider, we build directly on the Ride Rasmussen Style fundamentals, teaching riders to move with greater precision, efficiency, and flow through challenging backcountry terrain.
Advanced Body Positioning – Learn how small changes in balance and throttle control translate into big improvements in efficiency and reduced fatigue.
Improved Sidehilling & Carving – Refine your sidehilling technique and begin linking smooth carves across variable terrain and snow conditions.
Line Selection & Terrain Management – Develop the ability to read terrain more effectively and choose lines that maximize control and minimize effort.
Transitions & Technical Maneuvers – Practice techniques such as uphill/downhill transitions, hop turns, and navigating trees and tight spaces with confidence.
Efficiency & Endurance – Learn how to ride longer and harder with less wasted energy by applying true Ride Rasmussen Style technique.
All instruction is provided by Rasmussen Mountain Guides, who have mastered the Ride Rasmussen Style methods under the guidance of Qualified Instructors. At the intermediate stage, precision matters even more—our guides ensure that riders don’t just “get through” the terrain but do so smoothly, safely, and with control. This creates a stronger, more natural riding style that prepares you for advanced maneuvers and deeper backcountry exploration.
Riders who have completed a beginner clinic or have a solid grasp of the fundamentals. Snowmobilers with experience in the mountains who want to improve efficiency and control. Anyone ready to push past “basic” and ride with confidence in more varied and technical terrain.
