June blizzard at Crested Butte on-snow camp
Fri, Jun 13, 2008 - By Nathan Schultz
A small contingent of 25 skiers came out for our June On-Snow camp in Crested Butte, with an even mix of Juniors, Seniors and Masters to enjoy the stellar conditions. The camp focused on technique development and a lot of off-snow topics including training plans, ski testing and strength.
A June Blizzard greeted us on our first morning, cleaning up the snow and setting up great conditions for classic technique work. Three days of sun followed with overnight cooling to set up perfect skating tracks in the morning and classic for the afternoon corn skiing. Two inches of dry snow fell overnight before our last day to give us ideal conditions for a long last workout, making it tough to leave.
We plan on doing the camp again next year, so put it on your calendar!
