The COP MTB School sets a new participants record! With close to a thousand program participants (our highest numbers ever) so far this season and more coming with our fall programs, the COP MTB School has established itself as one of the leaders in MTB instructing in North America. Our wide range of program offerings allows us to cater to any type of rider, from training wheels to dirt jumping and as young as 4 years old! We also hosted our annual Joe Schwartz Performance Camp, which took place in early July where ten lucky riders got to shred with Joe for the whole week. The summer is not over yet at the COP bike park! The Mountain Bike Park is fully open until the 27th of September! We have plenty of program options and events for the month of September.

Here is an overview inside

Our team of 25 instructors worked really hard all spring and summer to provide quality lessons to all of our program participants. With a couple weeks of break before the fall program start, we decided to head out to Moose Mountain in Bragg Creek for a staff riding day, we had perfect weather and perfect trails. Here are a few pics from our MTB School Coordinators, Brynn and Glen, having fun on Race of Spades…
