Jeff rides bikes. Be like Jeff!
We're super stoked to have Jeff join the Mystic Mountain Adventures team. He'll be a familiar face to many around town from his years instructing mountain biking at Fernie Alpine Resort in the summers as well as working as a patroller in the winters. Or maybe you know him better as an incredibly skilled musician.
If you're a strong intermediate or advanced rider looking to push your riding further contact us about setting up a private session with Jeff tailored just for you, or for you and your friends!
