Highlights
Outing Highlights
Black‑diamond race work
Training takes place on challenging black‑diamond terrain where skiers hone race technique, gate work and high‑speed turns under coach supervision—an emphasis that defines the camp’s purpose.
Four focused mornings
The camp runs for four days with morning-only sessions, each two hours long, which concentrates instruction and practice into a compact schedule ideal for intensive skill work.
Skill prerequisites and equipment responsibilities
Participants must arrive with their own tuned equipment and helmets; the program expects racers to already be skiing in parallel on black-diamond runs, able to hockey stop and to ride chair lifts independently.

What the camp feels like
Mornings are compact and purpose-driven: two hours of warm-ups, technique drills and progressive gate work that build to timed runs and friendly competition across the four days. The pace is technical and directed toward racers who already handle steep terrain and independent lift use.
