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.
