Good skiers looking to get better are invited to the Winter Kick-off Ski Improvement Camp, which runs from Dec. 4 to Dec. 6.
“It’s geared toward ski instructors, but we do take good skiers or season’s pass holders who want to improve their skill and get the season off to a good start,” said Vincent Lafontaine, camp host and resort ski school director.
“There’s a lot of instruction and training, if you want to get better.”
The three-day camp costs $325 and includes coaching from Level 4 instructors, stretching and fitness sessions, video analysis, yoga, a welcome cocktail reception and a banquet dinner.
Olympic gold medalist and world champion skier Nancy Greene Raine will be a special guest at the camp.
Book by calling 250-578-5505 or by emailing snowsports@sunpeaksresort.com.
“It’s all about getting started off on the right foot and we’re looking for intermediate and advanced skiers,” Lafontaine said.
The program was founded last year by Lafontaine and 16 skiers signed up. This year, 40 have already registered.
“It’s growing really quite fast,” he said. “I only hire Level 4 instructors, the top level.”
Participants receive 50 per cent off lift tickets during the three-day camp and lift line priority.
