Mt. Batchelor Race Camp - 6/19-6/29

[Chris Karol]

Hello Bomber Community;

Mt. Batchelor still has lots of snow and will be open for Teams to come and train next month. The mountain will not be open to the public during this time.

I am looking for a few more riders to attend this training camp so I can lower the cost for those who have already expressed interest.

It will be a small group of 8 riders max, but at 8 riders the cost is quite reasonable. I currently have 4 riders who would like to participate.

The camp is open to ages 13 and up. Prior racing experience not required, but would like riders to have at least intermediate ability to participate

Apologies for the last minute timing of this post but If anyone is interested please contact me by email asap. (I am currently in Europe and not using my phone) My email address is; chris@fastsnowboarding.com

I will not accept any payment for the camp until I have enough riders confirmed at an acceptable price level.

Would love to go, but being a poor engineering student at the present time isn't allowing me to do race training compared to the yesteryears of my racing days with Team Copper training.

However, I certainly hope by the time I get around to make the dollars roll in, I'd be able to return to racing, but in Masters category.

Thanks for the interest just the same LeeW, paying the bills is always part of the challenge!

Hi Chris, great to see you will hopefully be back at Mt Bachelor!! I know you have some good memories there.

Do you have rates for the local riders that want to participate? I am on the injured list currently , however , I am sure

there are some PNW riders that would love to join in.

To my snow bros in the area. Riding with, gaining access to a champion like Chris is a real pleasure and a chance to step up your skills in short order. He is a RIPPER of the highest order and a pretty cool dude too boot!!

Thanks Brian, sorry to hear you are on the AIL, I can definitely work out a local price minus the lodging expense but will first have to see if there are enough riders to make a go of it.

If anyone in the Bend area would be willing to house a few athletes for the camp at a reasonable price that could also help bring the cost down to an affordable level and make it possible for the 4 athletes currently wanting to attend.

Heal up quick and solid!
