Overview
This two-week camp focuses on riding in steeper terrain and building confidence to hit drops of all sizes at both Treble Cone and Cardrona (used if snow conditions are preferable), in Wanaka NZ.
This camp is all about technique for steeper off-piste riding and techniques when hitting natural features and is strictly for advanced level riders, or above. Ride time will be mostly in off-piste terrain with some skills being developed on-piste in the process. Video feedback will be used regularly on this camp and two evening video analysis sessions are included, plus priority lift line access through the snowsports lane at both TC and Cardrona.
All camps need a minimum of 3 people to run, with a maximum of 6 per group.
