I thoroughly enjoyed my four-day holiday weekend at Crested Butte. I kept myself extremely busy every day and most evenings. But it was a great weekend despite being busy at times. I will continue my report in a later blog, but right now I wanted to talk about the camp I helped out with most of the weekend.
I had the wonderful opportunity to help out with Alison Gannett’sRippin Chix ski camp. It’s a two day event for women of wide-spread abilities: from just beginning to ski blacks to those who will be competing in the US Extreme Freesking Championships later this week.
On Friday, most of the instructors met to talk about logistics and Alison’s crazy lingo. Who can resist laughing when she uses terms like “pole plant to the velcro butt” 
On Saturday and Sunday the Rippin Chix arrived and were tearing up the mountain. We split the ladies into groups based on their ability levels and personal goals. Regardless of ability, the camp was a learning experience for all.
Here’s a few pics Alison sent to us via email:
I highly recommend Alison’s Rippin Chix camp for all the lady rippers out there! Hope to see you all there next year! Please see this link below for more details!
