Ability level (Advanced)
This is a camp for skiers that are ready to try carving steeper slopes and ski moguls on black runs. Ideally for returning BPS Camp participants and Online Academy students. An example of the ability would be to be able to already cleanly pure carve turns on an easy blue run, make short turns on a steep blue run and ski in the fall line in the moguls. We will be skiing at higher speeds and a foundational level of carving skills is necessary to participate as well as a willingness to ski black bump runs.
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.
