Portillo Numero Tres- More Pow and Telemark Skiers

As we sit, readying for week 2 of the Portillo Big Mountain Telemark Camp, I'm excited to say that the first week was a success. Everybody absolutely destroyed the mountain! The less experienced camper Dave is making great steps towards moving into the pow and steeps and he'll be staying here along with Alex Romashko for the second week to really soak up all that Portillo has to offer.

The week progressed well, and after charging the powder non-stop for 3 days, we found that Wednesday required a nice chill afternoon including a hot tub sesh at 1 in the afternoon. Yes, we might've been a bit lazy, but you can't blame us, especially because we got up to 18,000 vertical feet on the first day! The weather has held out for us, but I wouldn't mind a bit of snow to start session 2 out on the right foot.

Here is an edit and a few photos to get the stoke up a bit, and i do apologize if you begin to drool....
