About the Course
Camp Outline:
Depending on conditions these are things we may cover and teach you about:
Advanced Carving techniques for steeper terrain
Stance and balance drills
Edging drills
Retraction-Extension transitions
Mogul skiing techniques and tactics.
Exercises to improve upper body stability.
Exercises for pole planting
How to ski faster but in control
Ski boot setup. We run an indoor clinic the evening before camp starts to help you dial in your ski boot setup.
Ability level: Upper Intermediate and higher
This camp requires the participant to be comfortable skiing anywhere on the mountain. For example If we decide to ski down a bumpy black run you need to be ok with doing that. You can be messy and not have the prettiest style out there, more importantly, you feel ok practicing in more challenging terrain. Some prior history of working on carving techniques is helpful.
Terrain: Ability to ski all terrain including black diamond bump runs.
Physical:
In good shape to make the most of 3 days of skiing all day and not hold the group up.
