LODGE LIFE. BACKYARD KICKERS. WINTER CAMPING...
NEED WE SAY MORE?
The RIDGE Blog is where we share stories about Gap semesters in the Rocky Mountains. Our students train and live like mountain athletes at our campus in Whitefish, Montana.
RIDGE Mountain Academy's Capstone Expeditions are culminating experiences at the end of every semester. Designed as an opportunity for student athletes to put their semester's training to the test, capstone expeditions are custom built semester-by-semester. Last fall the crew traveled to Moab, UT for a week of climbing and mountain biking in the desert.
The RIDGE crew traveled to Choteau, MT. to compete in the 2016 Jack 'n' Jill Skimo race at Teton Pass Ski Resort.
'Skimo' or 'Randonee' racing has a rich history in Europe, and is gaining popularity here in the United States. Racers use specialized ski equipment to ascend and descend a predetermined route as fast as possible.
