We take the free in FreeRide seriously – but our freedom is at risk. Every year more and more riders are accessing the backcountry without the knowledge or skills to keep themselves safe. As well as putting themselves in danger, it’s placing a heavy burden on state funded rescue resources which increases the likelihood that governments will take legislative action to restrict our access to the authentic mountain. This isn’t good for us or the mountain.
The best way to have more fun, ride free, and protect yourself is to #07: Never Stop Learning.
Thanks to our friends at WEMountain, avalanche prevention and mountain safety now starts at home with their e-learning courses.
The courses are fully online, so you can get stuck in wherever you are and go at your own pace. They blend online learning with terrain-based thinking to create a smarter, more modern approach to mountain safety and avalanche awareness.
The BACKCOUNTRY course stands out because it’s not just about rescue drills. It’s about prevention – knowing yourself, reading terrain, understanding conditions and making smarter calls, so you’re stacking the odds in your favour before you drop.
