4 WEEK TARGETED TRAINING BLOCK

“GRAVITY FREERIDE CAMP”

All athletes are eligible for the Free Ski Development Pipeline Program.

Making use of the multitude of steep gullies and natural freeride terrain Mount Hotham has to
offer, our ‘Gravity Freeride ‘camp is designed to challenge our young skier’s seeking to broaden
their perspective of the mountain and step out of their comfort zone a little. This camp is open
to all skiers who are competent skiing the entire mountain but looking to take that next step.

Spread over 4 weekends in August, this camp capitalises on Mount Hotham’s premium month
of winter snow and is poised to get the best out of our young rippers. Whether your goals are
set at one day chasing the steep and deep you see in the movies, standing atop the freeride
world tour podium or just finding a new crew to shred the hill with, there’s a place for
everyone.
