SXS ATV/Mountain Bike Professional Wanted

Overview:
Guiding Electric Mountain Bikes (eMTBs) and Side-by-Side Tours is one of the most rewarding outdoor jobs around. At Sage, you’ll lead guests through our massive private mountain — a remote, wildlife-rich refuge home to bear, elk, mountain lion, deer, coyote, and more. It’s rugged, beautiful, and one of the most unique guiding environments in Colorado.

You’ll be guiding two incredible programs: our fleet of brand new 2025 Can-Am Commanders and launching our brand-new eMTB program, built around Scor full-suspension, top-of-the-line electric mountain bikes. We're looking for someone who’s not only a capable guide but a bike nerd — someone who loves bikes, knows how they work, and is excited to help shape this new offering from the ground up.
