November 10, 2015 (Vernon, BC) – Winter is here, folks! Over the last 10 days I’ve received several emails asking about snow conditions; campers and potential campers checking in to see if snow conditions are ready for Camp 1 on November 20th. I can assure you, the trail conditions are awesome! Check out our Facebook post here to see some photos taken over the weekend at both Sovereign Lake and Silver Star.
I had the opportunity to put my skis on over the weekend and get out to glide. The feeling of clicking my bindings in, getting that first grip of wax to the snow, and kicking off to a glide is what I wait all summer for. Getting back to the button of the foot, finding my balance, finding my strength. The feeling out on the trails and the feeling of gliding makes the wait throughout the summer worthwhile!
What’s the best part of knowing that I’m skiing in November? That I have another 5 months ahead to ski, to improve my skiing, and to ski further. While the first day (Ok, I’ll admit it, the first week) is humbling, this is the time that I set myself up for 5 months of great skiing. By working immediately on my stance, my balance and my technique I know that the rest of my ski season will benefit from this patience. Supercamp gets you on snow early with some of Canada’s best coaches to work on your technique and to give you the tools you need for a great season of skiing.
Wherever you are, whenever you get on snow, enjoy the experience and make the most of your first few days!
See you on the trails!
