After School Programming Starts May 1  

Register today!

CSAT’s Mountain Bike Program helps young athletes develop the skills and confidence to ride the variety of trails found amongst Hood River and the Columbia River Gorge. We emphasize positive interactions, a growth mindset, and trail stewardship.

Our spring after school sessions consists of a small team of riders with similar skill levels and top level coaching on all aspects of mountain biking. We coach basic MTB skills such as body position, balance, braking, and pedal cadence and build to more advanced skills such jumps, drops, tech, and high speed cornering.

For Hood River mountain bike programs, Post Canyon is our primary stomping ground. We also offer after school programs in White Salmon, exploring Hospital Hill, and surrounding areas.

We are passionate about instilling our core values of Passion, Team, Integrity, Leadership, Gratitude, Grit, and Respect in every aspect of our Mountain Bike Program. Our goal is to help young athletes develop not only their mountain biking skills but also their character, confidence, and to cultivate their passion for outdoor recreation.

While many of us have no intention of hanging up our skis (or snowboards) anytime soon with this incredible snow pack and a few remaining competitions, it is time to celebrate another great winter season with the CSAT community! 

Please mark your calendars for April 8th, 5pm – 8pm. We’re still working on the details (BBQ? Potluck? Chili Cook-off??) but we’re all set for the historic Rockford Grange that evening, so plan on coming over after a day of sunny (hopefully?) spring skiing, lacrosse or baseball for food, fun, community and end-of-the-season awards! 

We are disappointed that timing didn’t work out for us to celebrate together but we’re excited to have the Free Ride comp team representing CSAT at nationals in Colorado that weekend and will be cheering from afar! The Free Ride team will have an additional celebration April 22 to celebrate their season. All devo, training and comp Free Ride athletes are invited to attend. All Free Ride families who are in town for the 8th are also invited and welcome to join us for the full team dinner! 

Details for both end of the season parties will be coming shortly! 

CSAT will be sending 9 members of it’s Freeride Comp team to this year’s USASA Nationals at Cooper Mountain in Colorado. Cheer them on April 9th – 12th as they represent CSAT, competing against the best in the nation!
