The excitement of gearing up for an AIARE 2 hut trip with VNTRbirds was amped up even further by the storm brewing in the mountains.

I want to express my gratitude for the incredible opportunity provided to me through the Arc’teryx Backcountry Scholarship.

I’ve taken a VNTRbirds clinic every season since I started mountain biking. VIDA MTB Series at Snowmass Bike Park was my first clinic.

Whether you’re race-curious or just wanting to improve your downhill skills, I promise you will walk away as a better mountain biker.

When the season winded down into the fall, I couldn’t believe how fortunate I was to have this set of weekends tying together my summer.

Biking taught me to stop saying sorry and instead say thank you. Almost everyone I ride with has more years of biking experience than me.

Tashia (she/her) first found VNTRbirds through our women’s community ride days, Good Vibes Ride Day.

I find that I often poison my travels by over-researching, leaving nothing to chance or happenstance.
