Race Camps: IMPORTANT: Tickets, lodging, etc information. (2019
Anyone who haven’t signed up there's still time to sign up for either of the Race Camps if you haven’t done so already.
I spoke to someone at Killington and have 28 trails open and they expect more as the temperature is expected to be mostly below freezing all this coming week…
There's a possibility that there will be a helmet rule at Killington this year. You definitely MUST wear a helmet for the GS race and, for your own safety; it's a good idea to wear a helmet for the entire race camp particularly at the Slalom camp. Peak Performance Ski shop will have helmets on sale; just mention that you're with the Race Camp or mention my name.
PLEASE READ EVERYTHING BELOW BEFORE CONTACTING ME.

5 DAY GS RACE CAMP – where to get you lift ticket:
If you plan to take advantage of the free ½ day ski on Sunday before the GS Race Camp, you’ll need to pick up your lift ticket before. Also, I’ll have the 5-day GS Race Camp tickets. I’ll be at the Snowshed Lodge, on the access road (The first one on the left on the access road). I’ll be upstairs, so enter the lodge at the door on the left before the overhead bridge and go up the stairs on left as soon as you go in the lodge. You’ll see me as soon as you reach the top of the stairs. Don’t get there any earlier than 12 Noon, as they don’t issue the lift tickets to me before then. PLEASE NOTE: I’ll only be there until 1 PM.
If you didn’t pick up your lift ticket on Sunday and arrive Sunday evening, I’ll be at the North Star Bar on Sunday evening after 8:30PM. If you miss me at both places, Monday morning I’ll be at the Killington Base Lodge (The one at the end of the access road) at 7:45 AM and I’ll give out the camp tickets there. I’ll be upstairs, so enter the lodge at the right rear door and go up the stairs. You’ll see me as soon as you reach the top of the stairs. I’ll have on a blue sweater.
After receiving your camp tickets everyone will meet outside by the ski racks at 8:30AM SHARP.

I’ll be upstairs, so enter the lodge at the right rear door and go up the stairs. You’ll see me as soon as you reach the top of the stairs. I’ll have on a blue sweater.
After receiving your camp tickets everyone will meet outside by the ski racks at 8:30AM SHARP.¬______________________________________________________________________
