About the Mountain Slayerz

DJ Osborne
Backcountry Guide / Instructor
Welcome to the Mountain Slayerz! How did this happen? I used to play an online location based game and my gamertag was MTN_SLAYER. I had grown up with the love of exploration and riding. A tech guy but a moto and snowmobile fanatic. Early on I had a career riding motorcycles in parallel with some time working with the Nitro Circus. This is important because there I learned that anything was possible and that in no way would I ever be able to have a "normal" job. For years I attempted to sit behind a desk and design software but I spent a lot of time staring at the mountains, knowing there was more for me out there.
In 2017 I launched my first rental/tour company. At some point along the way that would come to a halt and the rebirth of my vision would happen in Summer of 2022. Mountain Slayerz was launched. For too long now I've been providing some of the most amazing ways to see Utah and there is no way I can stop now.
We currently offer dirt bike, snowmobile and UTV tours. The other side of the business is teaching. Offering riding clinics for both snowmobile and dirt bike riders, and then we have a big focus on avalanche education. We are a motorized AIARE provider and offer recreational courses to snowmobile and snowbike riders.
I encourage you to ride with us. We not only are professional riders but we have the safety and education that very few in these industries have. This is why we can claim that we are the best. I hope to ride with you soon.

Meet Our Guides
The Mountain Slayerz
What are the Mountain Slayerz? Simply put we are a group of professional riders that set out to deliver an experience unlike the norm. There are a lot of amazing tour companies out there. They provide a great activity for those on vacation. Hanging out with us is an experience. Those cute little tour companies we speak of, they take you on the same exact run every single person who's ever stepped foot in the door has gone on.
We don't roll like that. In fact every single one of you will experience something different. Why? Because we as riders do. We want you to experience the mountains the way we do. The mountains that surround Park City or Salt Lake City are some of the most amazing in the world. We have access to some of the best riding in the world. Utah is know for it's amazing views and trail systems. Along with it's beauty comes it's dangers.
What they won't tell you is there are very few regulations on who can and can't show you around these mountains. Most of the time you will have a seasonal employee that lacks training, lacks the actual skill and doesn't understand the mountains. We have rapidly changing weather, an immense amount of mountain obstacles and even a great deal of avalanche danger. Wouldn't you want an experienced guide?
It's important to have a well trailed guide. What qualities should your guide have? You would think medical training. Wouldn't you want them to have professional level avalanche education? Would the cherry on top be industry professionals?
You are going to get industry leaders here, nothing less. Top level riders. Everyone that guides here is a AAA Avalanche Professional and has at least completed and passed their AIARE or AAI PRO 1. We have USMCA (U.S. Motorcycle Coaching Association) Coaches. All of our guides are Wilderness First Responders as well. I know, it sounds like we are bragging. We are, we've worked hard over the course of our professional careers to bring this kind of standard. A standard you will have to search very hard to find elsewhere.
Let's get to the experience now. Imagine riding top of the line machines prepared just for you. If you're a tall guy, a machine set up for you. If you don't like the cold, the industries best gear available so that doesn't have to be an issue. And of course the riding. We have more terrain to ride than any other snowmobile, dirt bike or off-road tour company in the state of Utah.
Safety is key, you need to get back to loved ones at the end of the day. You also need to have fun, and be able to let loose. Let us take you deeper in the backcountry than anyone else and show you an amazing time. Let us show you the best snow on earth, the best single track trails on a dirt bike. We want you to experience Utah.
Thank you for your consideration. We hope to get out and ride with you.
