Green/Blue Camp - Final Details & Daily Schedule

Postby Diana Rogers » Wed Jan 01, 2014 3:33 pm

Hello campers,

Here are the Green/Blue camp daily schedule and details...

Happy Feet:
If you are travelling a long distance to camp (driving, flying, or both) we highly recommend that you wear compression socks for the journey and for your first day or two at camp. Travelling often leads to swelling of the feet, creating a lot of discomfort for the first few days in your ski boots. Wearing compression socks is even more important if you are planning to buy boots or have boot fitting done at camp. You can wear compression hose or special compression ski socks. If you can’t find them near you, you can order them from us on our web store...

Lift tickets:
If you are getting group-rate tickets through us, then we will have those tickets on the first morning of camp, and we will bill you for those tickets at the end of the camp.
[$200/5 days (adults); $175/5 days (ages 61-69)]

If you are planning to buy a season pass for the camp, you will buy that directly from Granby Ranch. Please bring ID with age as needed. [Ages 70 and up, $69; Ages 61-69, $249, best if you are staying more than 2 days in addition to the camp.]

Payment:
Most of you are paying by credit card. We will run a tab for you for the whole week so that we only have to process one charge on your card. If you get a footbed and/or alignment installation, they will go on a master bill, along with group lift tickets and incidental expenses (such as books or DVDs purchased during camp). Friday morning we will have a final bill for you to sign (or you can pay by check at that time).

Alignment/Equipment “pre-day” before camp:
If you are arriving early for camp and wish to have your indoor alignment session done prior to camp, we do have openings at our Dumont Ski Shop (halfway between the Denver airport and Granby Ranch; you need to have a car). Please call us or send us an e-mail by Feb. 1 if you wish to schedule an appointment. We’ll contact you to confirm the time.

Meeting place in lodge:
The Granby Ranch base lodge is a 2-story building. The cafeteria is on the second floor, and there is a large stone fireplace at one end of the seating area. We’ll plan to meet in this vicinity each morning, as well as eating lunch and watching video here.

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 at lunch, 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 or Chris, will be waiting for you. We have paperwork that you must sign before joining a group. He will have lift tickets, if you need them. He will bring you outside and get you hooked up with the coaches.

Hi Diana,

Thank you for the camp details. Louise will need the group rate lift tickets. We'll bring her Nordica boots. We'll arrive at Denver Airport around noon and head for your shop to have Louise's alignment checked. It'll be an interesting trip altogether.

Sincerely,

Anton
