Are you a gravity junky? Then you're going to LOVE it at Retallack! Heli drop, shuttles, endless burms & jumps!

July 30 - Aug 2, 2020

Retallack Lodge is a famous cat skiing lodge deep in the Kootenay Mountains near New Denver, BC. They are quickly becoming very popular for their shuttle assist singletrack vacations during the summer months. Sweet Skills launched the inaugural camp with Retallack in 2018 with rave reviews! No doubt, you will be totally hooked after your first run!

Jumps, berms and natural features line the custom-built trails flowing from scenic Kootenay mountain alpine to valley bottom. We’ll let gravity feed us down through historic mining sites, alpine wildflowers, and fantastic trails. To maximize our fun we’ll be swept up in the shuttle van and zipped straight back up to the top, a wisked way to hone those downhill skills and have a ripping good time.

The cherry on top off this trip: getting heli dropped on top of a peak with 6000ft of epic single track to shred! After all that descending, we'll enjoy the gorgeous lodge with apres that can't be beat! Soak in the hot tub, hang by the babbling brook with a cool drink, play a wide assortment of games, and enjoy some amazing drinks at the bar. Retallack has the apres scene dialed!

  

This camp is aimed at strong intermediate riders and up - you don't have to arrive an expert, but you sure might leave as one with help from our Sweet Skills coaches! If you're just starting to learn to jump or already sending it, we'll have a group for you! Small group instruction with a maximum of 6 participants to 1 coach.

The Sweet Skills Retallack weekend was by far my best shredding weekend of 2019. Deb and Tera are both amazing coaches, and knew how to work with a range of skill levels to keep each of us challenged and STOKED. Retallack itself is a mountain bikers paradise. The lodge, the food, the employees, the trails, the apres... all of it is dialled. I will 100% be back for this camp next year, and already looking forward to it!
