SuperBlue Camp - Final Details & Daily Schedule

SuperBlue Camp - Final Details & Daily Schedule

Postby Diana Rogers » Mon Nov 23, 2015 7:58 pm

Hello campers,

Here are the SuperBlue camp daily schedule and final 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 prior to camp. You can wear compression hose or special compression ski socks.

Happy Feet, #2:
Are you flying to camp? Make sure you bring your ski boots in your carry-on luggage! Don’t trust the single most important piece of equipment to the baggage handlers.

Lift tickets:
We are planning that all campers will have purchased one of A-Basin’s multi-day ticket or pass options for camp. (See the Lodging & Ticket Info thread.)

Payment:
We run a bill for each camper for incidental expenses (such as books or DVDs purchased during camp, footbeds, alignment, etc.). We will email this invoice to you at the end of camp and you can pay it online by credit card.

Footbed and alignment "pre-day"
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 (appointments remaining on Friday through Sunday, Jan. 22-24) and at the Keystone alignment condo (Sunday, Jan. 24, 6-7 PM only). Please call us (303-567-0679) or send us an e-mail byJan. 17 if you wish to schedule an appointment.

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 wait for one of our coaches at the entry to the liftline on the Black Mountain Express lift (the quad at the base). We have paperwork that you must sign before joining a group.
