Re: Open Copper, Colorado - Fall 2010 - SHORT CAMP
Date: August 27, 2010
This year, we will again be offering a short prep camp at Copper Mt., Colorado in conjunction with our full length camp. The purpose of this camp is for JII and JIIIs who are looking to get on snow early to work on technical skills and develop tactical gate skills but cannot afford to miss school for the entire full length Colorado Camp.
Camp Details:
Location: Copper Mountain, Colorado
Dates: November 17-23, 2010
Tentative Travel Plans : Depart Northwood the morning of Nov 17 with Northwood Staff. Tentative flights will depart in the late morning of Nov 17 arriving in Denver, Colorado and return from Denver to Albany the evening of Nov 23rd.
If you want to make other airfare plans, you must arrive and depart Denver, Co. at approximately the same time as our group. If you do make your own flight plans, we will deduct the cost of our flight, $400.00 from your total cost. Northwood School cannot be responsible for athletes who fly separately from the group. If you plan on purchasing your own flight, please wait until we have confirmed our exact flights with you. Then send me a copy of your flight itinerary once you have made your reservation.
Estimated Cost: $1,600 - Includes flight, lodging, ground transportation, baggage fee, breakfast, lift tickets (week- end fast pass), and training space fees. The fee does not include lunch or dinner. Athletes can prepare meals in the condo or walk into town below the condos.
Additional Costs: Additional airline baggage fees greater than 2 bags and overweight fees; lunch and dinners. Lunch and dinners should be a minimal cost since we will have condo units with full kitchens. The athletes can prepare their own meals for lunch and dinner or go out to eat.
Staff: Guy Middleton, Northwood Program Director; Jim Johnston, NYSEF JIII Head Coach; John Norton, NYSEF Head Women's coach; Royce Van Evera, NYSEF Head Men's Coach; Marcy Fagan, Northwood tutor/coach; and other coaches TBD.
Focus: 6 full days on snow - Full Length GS and SL training, drills as well as directed free-skiing. Dartfish video analysis and timing. Due to the altitude and the longer training block, it is important for the athlete to be physically ready to meet these demands. Daily study hall sessions will be a component of this camp.
Accommodations: Condos at the base of Copper Mountain
