Daily Schedule & Details - Tech Camp

Postby Diana Rogers » Sat Oct 15, 2011 3:21 pm

Hello campers,

Here are the Tech Camp daily schedule and final details…

Lift tickets:
We are planning that most campers will be getting the group rate tickets through us, at $50/day. If you have a season pass at A-Basin and won't need group lift tickets, please remind us. (If you have told us before, please tell us again – repetition helps!)

Payment:
We run a bill for each camper for group lift tickets and incidental expenses (such as books or DVDs purchased during camp). Friday morning before skiing, we will have the final bill for you to sign (or you can pay by check at that time).

Footbed and alignment "pre-day"
If you know that you would like to have footbeds made, or if you would like the complete indoor alignment assessment, we encourage you to come to camp at least one day early. Because the actual camp has full days of coaching, it is very difficult to accommodate campers who would like the complete indoor alignment session during the camp days. Indoor alignment sessions for campers are offered at our Dumont Ski Shop on the days prior to camp. Call us for more information: 303-567-0679.

Meeting place in lodge:
The A-Basin base lodge is an old A-frame building. The first floor has seating and the cafeteria. We’ll meet on the 2nd floor (above the cafeteria level) at the back end of the building (closer to the slopes than to the road). We’ll also plan to eat lunch in this vicinity each day. Lockers and restrooms are located in the basement of the lodge.

Your coach:
Your coach is your central information contact - the “go-to” person for scheduling, questions, etc. Do you have any special desires that you'd like to cover during camp? Tell your coach early on the first day. Wondering what time to watch video? Ask your coach.

Video:
Video is performed on a weather-permitting basis. If it’s snowing hard, we will not video. You will watch video with your coach, either at lunch or later in the afternoon, once skiing is over.

Late Arrivals:
If you arrive late on the first day of camp, please go upstairs to the meeting place (2nd floor of lodge). Our camp helper, Greg, will be waiting for you. We have paperwork that you must sign before joining a group. Greg will have lift tickets, if you need them. He will bring you outside and get you hooked up with the coaches.
