Build productivity in your work place with a full day of team building on the beautiful and exhilarating Gallatin River. Begin the morning with a dry land paddle team orientation and complete safety discussion. Next, jump in the raft and start honing your skills in the upper river rapids. Paddling in groups of six with our professional guides and facilitators, each group will work together as a team and develop alternate means of communication to successfully navigate the river.

Expect scenarios such as team rescues, paddle boat competitions, and specially designed riverside problem solving activities and initiatives. After a scrumptious deli lunch on the Gallatin River banks, let your skills come together with your co-paddlers as you enter the lower rapids of the canyon culminating in the formidable Mad Mile; one mile of continues whitewater that you will never forget. As the journey finishes, a new bond has been formed between members and is brought back to the work place.

When the resort is blanketed in winter's white (mid-November through mid-April) skiers and snowboarders take to the slopes: all 180+ runs and 4,350 vertical feet spanning three mountains and 3,600 acres.

Economy to luxury accommodations range from standard hotel rooms to spacious condominiums and opulent penthouse suites. 46,000 square feet of meeting and function space can accommodate groups of up to 750 guests.
