All NORA driving programs have been developed by our I4WDTA certified instructors with focus on learning, adventure and fun. Having worked with over 7,000 clients since 2011, we are pleased to offer an amazing day of customized off road training for up to 4 occupants per vehicle! Our private 75 acre mountain training center has been specifically built to train off-road driving and recovery scenarios. Come to NORA where our private clients receive the same level of training we provide to our pro-service clients including emergency services, US Govt, utility companies, television personalities, journalists and more.
Private training is offered all year round on available weekdays and weekends for individuals or groups up to 6 vehicles. Class includes an online presentation (live or recorded), onsite obstacle courses & trail driving under supervision of instructors and guides. All training is safety focused sharing themes of people, vehicle and environmental preservation. We tailor your onsite training to your needs using your vehicle, a NORA rental trail rig or a mix of both. Popular private training goals for individuals and groups:
– Learn their 4WD vehicle’s capabilities & features
– Learn how to avoid getting stuck, and how to get unstuck
– Learn how to spot (guide) a vehicle past obstacles
– Overland & recreational off road driving techniques
– Seeking to increase driving confidence
– New vehicle testing
– Off road night driving
– Advanced driving topics (suspension dynamics, momentum)
– Unique, fun group outing experience
NORA offers private snow trail driving January – March. Driving and recovering vehicles on snow covered mountain terrain offers challenges above typical off road driving. This training is trail condition dependent and booking requires some scheduling flexibility. NORA provides support vehicles and recovery gear. Snow trail driving requires a NORA trail rig rental if student vehicles do not have MT or AT tires & front/rear recovery points.
