Although there is a Canadian Safety Council – Nationally standardized snowmobile operator course, it is designed for flat terrain and does not equip operators with the skills to maneuver in deep snow. The Canada Backcountry Services – Snowmobile Mountain Skills certificate is unique curriculum that evolves as riding skills emerge from participants. This is an obvious next step for anyone who has completed the Canadian Safety Council or BC Snowmobile Federation – Snowmobile Operator course looking to advance their skills and also for first time snowmobile operators. We work with all experience and riding levels and adapt delivery to the needs of each individual. We connect with clients ahead of the course in order to assess needs and determine goals.
With the intent of inspiring increased snowmobile safety within industry and government, our founder Alex Ibbotson has spent years refining the design of this training content sharing these skills predominantly with members of the Canadian Armed Forces. Although custom courses with specific needs and time commitments are available, we have simplified the content into two levels.
