Rippin Chix

Freeskiing champion Alison Gannett is proud to bring her infamous steep skiing camps for women to Crested Butte Mountain Resort again this season.

The camp sold out in 2008, so reserve your space early.

This camp is for real skiers wishing to improve their skills and confidence in a life-changing weekend. Open to alpine and tele chix wishing to improve their skills and confidence on black runs, with 6 exciting levels:

A level - Those who can ski black runs for several hours
B level - Those who wish to start skiing double blacks
C level - Those who can ski double blacks but need confidence and tricks to negotiate rocks and stumps
D level - Those who can ski double blacks all the time and wish to learn to jump off rocks and ski faster.
E level - Those looking jump bigger cliffs, straightline and compete in extreme contests.

Learn Alison’s special step by step progression method to tackling the steeps, including her five ways to catch air, and special tricks to make the tough stuff like rocks, trees, powder, chutes, and moguls seem easy.

This two day camp focuses on changing your life through improving confidence in your skiing. While baby steps are emphasized and comraderie, this camp does not come complete with yoga, red wine or filet mingon. Included is world class instruction and instructors, video analysis, free demos, and insane goodie bags and raffles.

Participants should be fit, able to ski all day for two days in a row, and accustomed to 10,000 foot altitudes. Those coming from sea level might want to schedule some extra time to get the most out of the weekend. All women eager to improve their skills and have a fun experience are welcome. Telemark, AT or Alpine Fat skis are recommended as the powder snow holds on the ungroomed terrain for weeks after a storm. Skis with at least a 90mm waist are preferred.
