This was the first Junior Shred Camp to run. As such it was hard to know exactly what to expect. We had hoped for a mix of off piste and park skills but as with all skiing it depends on the weather. With three days of fresh powder throughout the course the park remained closed so all the skills were off piste. That is ‘properly’ off piste! Deep powder, steeps, couloirs… There was basic avalanche skill training although the course never went to anywhere that was avalanche prone. Trees, drops, 180s – everything was tried and some of it even landed! Enthusiasm from Jen was superb – she really made the attendees believe they could do it. Attitude is ALMOST as important as ability, and listening is key on a course like this because it gets very tiring if you’re constantly falling over in powder. Check the required ability level carefully when signing up – these were all good black slope and crud skiers – all 14/15/16 – who wanted to go to the next level. And they got there!
