Foot O Fresh and Lovin' Life!

The Portillo Big mountain Telemark Camp Session 2 is going off! We started off the week on Sunday with a nice snow storm that dropped about a foot of new snow and consequently shut down all but two very short and somewhat useless lifts. We took it as a down day and relaxed to let the legs regain some composure after jump turns and some switch skiing in the flat light made day 8.

The past 2 days have been amazing. We awoke to total bluebird skies on Monday and hit the slopes hard after a yoga session. We charged nearly 15,000 vertical feet that day making a superb way to start off the camp comprised of all adults. The juniors are missed but between the Chilean, Sergio and the University of Wyoming staff member Matt, everybody works together really well.

Today, we hiked up above a run called "Primavera" and skied down 1100 vertical feet in sweet creamy sun-baked powder. Here are a few pics from the past few days.
Enjoy the summer in the northern hemisphere, or whatever weather may come your way,
