DRIVE MODULES

CIRCLE

Get comfortable with the vehicles on ice as you learn the first skills needed to initiate, maintain, and finish a perfectly executed drift on ice.

SLALOM

Experience the grip levels of studded tires on ice as you navigate through a series of cones with the goal of seamlessly linking each direction change with the perfect slip angle.

Braking and Cornering Technique

From theory to practice, learn the techniques needed to navigate a series of corners effectively on track.

DYNAMIC AREA

A specialized skid pad where a series of technique-driven challenges await. Through practice and repetition, you will perfect your timing and the art of initiating, maintaining, and linking drifts seamlessly.

SECTOR TRAINING 1 & 2

Embark on a journey of sector training, where the 1.10-mile ice track is split into two sections composed of various corner types. Get a feel for the grip levels of studded winter tires on ice as you master the challenges of each sector before seamlessly linking the entire course together in open lapping sessions later in the day.

TRACK LAPPING 1 & 2

Level up your confidence from sector training and conquer the full course! Master multiple vehicles under the guidance of our expert instructors. Start with sight-in laps to build familiarity, then unleash your skills on the open track.

COMPETITION COURSE

The Dynamic Area is where you will put your new found skills to the test.. Tight turns, demanding cones, and the constant desire to Drift – all conspire to push your limits. Every apex, every slide, every (perhaps involuntary) unwanted tow will be meticulously ranked, your prowess lauded on the podium.

HOT LAPS

The AMG tradition beckons, offering you the ultimate experience of riding with one of our pro drivers on a high-speed lap showcasing the fine art of speed and precision. This is the final touch of adrenaline to your unforgettable day.

TRANSPORTATION &
ACCOMODATIONS

We are delighted to recommend preferred hotel options, which attendees should book on their own. Please note that hotel accommodation is not included in the course fees.

For those arriving by air, the nearest airport is Gunnison Regional Airport in Crested Butte, just a short 30-minute drive away. You’ll find flight options with United Airlines and American Airlines. Alternatively, if you prefer, Montrose Regional Airport in Montrose, Colorado, is another viable choice, located approximately an hour’s drive away, offering flights with United Airlines, American Airlines, Delta Airlines, and Southwest Airlines. Please note that airport transfers are not provided.

Rest assured, all transportation to and from the ice tracks is seamlessly covered by our shuttle departing from the host hotel in Crested Butte. We do recommend that guests who are not driving consider joining the excitement behind the wheel rather than just spectating, as non-driving guests may have limited viewing opportunities. We believe that the thrill of driving is an experience best shared firsthand.

NOTE: Travel and lodging accommodation are not included with course fees and should be booked separately.
