Anytime between
Saturday 12th July – Saturday 9th August
Where and When
12-19 July, 19-26 July, 26 July - 2 August, 2-9 August, Saas-Fee, Switzerland (stay lengths are flexible from 1 day – 2 weeks)
The camps are not elitist and give less experienced skiers who have never had the chance to ride the park, big mountain freeride or moguls, a unique learning and confidence building experience, as well as training up those who are looking to improve their current repertoire of tricks.
Saas-Fee is currently the top summer skiing glacier due to the snow quality and the shaping in the Saas-Fee snowpark. Because of the terrain available in the summer in Saas-Fee, the camps also have the opportunity to test skiers on steeps, moguls and well groomed pistes.
During the camps you’ll also get the chance to witness the Saas Fee Ride 08, an international level freeski competition with some of Europe's top riders and also the best of British. See last years event live right now at the official website - www.saasfeeride.com. The date for Saas Fee Ride 08 is 19th July.
