Ragged Riders launched in 2016 and became a formal club in 2017, providing residents of Yellowknife with access to snowboarding and skiing at the city’s Bristol Pit complex.

No matter your level, Ragged Riders invited you and your family to try the facilities at Bristol Pit! The club’s focus is making sure all members feel comfortable and confident on the slopes: the instructors and staff will provide all the guidance you need, whether you’re a complete novice or a developing athlete.

The club has snowboard rental equipment available for day or season-long use at great rates, alongside day passes and season passes for access to the facility.
