4 DAYS OF All MOUNTAIN SKI IMPROVEMENT

Do you have a snow sport dependency? If so our Revel-steep session is a great excuse to test your thighs on North America’s longest vertical.

Package includes:
4 days of all mountain ski improvement
5 days lift pass
5 nights accommodation (7 night option available)

This camp is suitable for intermediate to expert level skiers whether your looking to make your first turns off the groomers, prepare yourself for a day of heli-skiing, train for that next level of instructor certification… or push your envelope on Revelstokes steepest and gnarliest.

We’ll balance coaching with lots of guided mileage in the vast bowls, bumps, tree runs and chutes that Revelstoke is famous for and if you’re up for the ultimate powder experience you’ll have the option to add a day of heli-skiing or cat skiing with Selkirk Tangiers.

Want to bring your family? They’re welcome too, Revelstoke offer great kid’s programs and daycare facilities!

Calling all intermediate to expert level skiers! 4 Days of ski all mountain improvement.

Do you want to go faster… go slower… go left more…. go right more? Maybe you want to carve up the groomers with sweeping arcs or make your turns shorter and snappy. Perhaps you want to shred powder, bumps, trees or steeps? On Section 8’s Science Friction camps you determine the objective… and like mad scientists in a snowy laboratory we’ll help you discover your inner ski geek.

Video analysis sessions will help you differentiate your perceptions from reality as our top certified coaches perform a double blind placebo controlled study on your skiing. Whatever the terrain, whatever the conditions, through guided experimentation you’ll discover how to best adapt your technique and tactics to the situation at hand.

Don’t worry, it won’t be all talk. There will be plenty of time for guided mileage and pushing your boundaries.

We’ll wind down each day with a little apres ski social with one evening reserved for a nice group meal to reflect on your recent skiing discoveries… and perhaps tell a tall tale or two.

Nestled at the end of the spectacular Tux Valley in the Austrian Tyrol and just a quick 800 metre shuttle ride from the gondola station, our hotel is 4 stars with a pool, saunas, great food and great drink.

The skiing and riding in Hintertux is just as good. Open 365 days a year it is one of the few places guaranteed to have decent snow in early November. In fact most years we’ve experienced excellent mid winter conditions with a variety of good on and off piste options to challenge everyone’s skiing and riding.

Kids Holding you back? No problem they will be more than entertained at the most amazing day care facilities just down the road.

WHAT IS IT?
A great opportunity to develop your technique while sampling a little Austrian culture.

Five days skiing or boarding with your favorite Section 8 coaches and seven nights to have stimulating conversation with friends both old and new! This camp is open to any intermediate to expert level skiers or boarders who would like to improve their skills before the winter season starts.
