Chile camp

[philfell]

Anton and I have just secured out dates and prices of our camp for

South America. Originally we wanted to do this camp at Las Lenas, but

the resort was unable to provide us the training we wanted so we were

forced to search out another option. After some time weighing our

options we settled on training at El Colorado

(http://www.elcolorado.cl/centro_ski/index.htm). Our camp will

consist of eight days on snow (weather permitting of course). Durning

these days we will be training G.S. and SL as well as free riding and

slaying powder if there is some to be slayed. The program is to

arrive in Santiago, Chile on the morning of Aug 16. Rally up to the

resort (about 2-3 hrs from the airport) that same day. Snowboard Aug.

17-25 with one rest day in the middle. Return to Santiago after

riding on the 25th.

This camp is ideal for riders and families of intermediate through

world cup ability. Last year we had a great mix of riders preparing

for the upcoming world cup season and people who simply want take

their snowboarding to the next level while experiencing a culture

that is vastly different from ours. This is a great way for anyone to

use snowboarding as an excuse to expand their world knowledge.

The price of this camp will be $2200 per athlete. This will include

ride in/ride out lodging, eight days of lift tickets at El Colorado,

training lane space on the mountain, transportation while in Chile,

world class coaching, video analysis, and an experience of a life

time. If you would like to attend we are requiring a non-refundable

deposit of $500 per athlete due by July 1st and the remainder due by

July 24th. If these dates are not met the price will go up to $2700

per athlete. Please understand that we need to have this time table

so we can give the resort and exact number of participants in a

timely manner so we can ensure that they have enough rooms for us.

Also for those who are competing in FIS level events we will be going

to Argentina after the camp to do a PGS and a SBX event. We will

leave for Argentina on Aug. 26 and return after the event on Sept. 2.

The price above does not include this part. Also for those interested

in doing some surfing Anton will be organizing a surf trip before the

camp starts and after we return from Argentina.

If you are interested or know anyone who is interested in coming with

us to South America for this camp you can get in touch with Anton or

myself at antonhood@hotmail.com or philip.fell@lycos.com. Feel free

to contact either of us if you have any questions.

My two kids, Ben (16) and Millie (14) and I are signed up to go. We went last year with Anton and Phil. They are both great coaches; the race training was great and the free riding was off the scale. It was the best on snow experince that I have had in 34 years of snow sports. If this year is half as good as last year it will be worth the trip. I know what I will be dreaming about for the next 6 weeks, then it will be time to live the dream. You know what Warren Miller says "Do it now because next year you will be one year older when you do".
