This is focused on making you a better rider, and preparing you for the Level 1 PMBI Exam. You will receive training from experienced local coaches who will help you navigate the local trail network, break down your personal riding skills and mould you into a confident rider. The course is busy with a lot of training but you will also have a few days off to recharge, rest, and work on any bike repairs required.

If you want to take your mountain biking to the next level and combine it with work in one of Canada’s best MTB Parks then this course is for you. You will get local trail knowledge with our guides and trainers, an internationally recognised certification through PMBI and the opportunity to work in the industry putting your skills to use. We look forward to helping you get into the mountain bike industry, with the ultimate holiday or gap year mountain biking.

What it's like working at

Revelstoke

EA has arranged a limited number of positions for work within the Revelstoke Bike School. You will have the opportunity to teach bike lessons after completing the PMBI Instructor Certification. Industry work component will be a combination of instructing alongside work in other areas of the RMR Bike School e.g. Lift Ops, Mountain Coaster Ops, Trail Maintenance, Guest Services, Rental, Retail. Work flow is busier during Canadian Holiday periods.

The Revelstoke mountain biking scene is legendary for the ease of alpine backcountry access, fun and flowy cross-country mountain biking trails, and downhill mountain biking. Spring and early summer offer lower elevation rainforest trails with tacky dirt and big trees. The RMR Bike Park has gondola access open all summer with both the lower and upper section providing a huge range of trails. RMR Bike Park has put a huge amount of investment into it’s trail network and will now have a total of over 47 kilometres of trails, including green, blue and black trails. Revelstoke is the place to be to really advance your mountain biking and experience true Canadian hospitality.
