Every year prior to MBO, Oregon Adventures puts on multiple guide training days where all the new guides can learn the ropes and learn the trails, radio use, and other techniques the MBO guides use to ensure everyone is as safe as possible during the event. The big one is called Guide Day and usually involves a big shuttled ride to one (or two!) of the premier trails in the Oakridge area. This year it was “Chrome Toilet” and the world renowned Alpine trail.
