Do I need to be fit?

I'm not feeling at my fittest or I prefer more DOWN than up, can you still accommodate me?

Yes we can as we have easier routes available for intermediate riders. We can also arrange a couple of up lift days (additional cost applies) for the more gravity orientated riders, as well as tailoring our normal AM/XC routes, meaning you’ll do more down than up! Please note, advance notice (at the time of booking) is required for arranging easier weeks and/or uplift days.

How can I get the best deals on flights?
