Steep Skiing Camp With Marmot Athlete Miles Smart - Crystal Mountain, Washington

This camp is a condensed version of the classic Steep Skiing Camps created by legendary skier, Doug Coombs. This two day camp is aimed to prepare skiers for the week long camps in locations such as La Grave and Chamonix, France and Verbier Switzerland. The focus of the camp is to have fun and to ski hard, while learning about the mountains and mountain travel techniques throughout each day. This is not a "course" where we will spend a lot of time standing around, but more of an adventurous and exciting two days of skiing that will tire you out and send you home with incredible memories and closer to the descents of your dreams.

What to expect during the camp:
* Lot's of steep skiing in Crystal's fantastic terrain
* Time skiing with UIAGM Mountain Guide and Coomb's Protégé, Miles Smart
* Single burial avalanche transceiver search
* Coaching in steep skiing techniques
* Basic terrain assessment and travel techniques for backcountry skiing
* If conditions allow... The use of a climbing rope to access ski terrain
