LOVELAND EARLY SEASON RACE CAMP - LIMITED SPOTS

Loveland, CO - November 5th - 9th

The Colorado Early Season Masters Camp is now open for registration. It's a 5-day camp, November 5th - 9th. The plan is for 50% free-skiing and all those early season drills you should do, and 50% in gates. Please note, this camp is limited to only 20 people

Many of you know my husband, Jack, who coaches with me at Red Lodge Mountain and at Big Sky. He'll be at Loveland, along with my long-time ski racing pal, Carolyn Beckedorff. Carolyn was among the top masters racers in the world and is now a level 300 US Ski and Snowboard Coach.

There will be some hill space for free-skiing and drills on gate-training days, too. Here's the basic plan:

Day 1: Directed free-skiing (drills) with coaches.

Day 2-3: Slalom training

Day 4-5: GS training. Departure after skiing.

To register for this camp, you need to email or call me. I will send you an invoice for the camp. Once that's paid, you're in!
