The first annual Portillo Big Mountain Telemark Camp ends with nothing but face shots and smiles!

Sunday, August 3rd, 2008

With two years of planning and preparation, my dream of starting a Big Mountain Telemark Camp in Portillo, Chile has just come true. The Crew was awesome and we were blessed with nothing but fresh snow the whole week. Every one improved and ripped one of the best lines of their lives, the “lake run,” as well as many other memorable lines. We practiced yoga twice daily, keeping us loose and injury free. I had a blast with the camp and learned so much from everyone as well as the mountains and myself. I cant wait for next year already! We have been in lockdown in the hotel for the past two days while an enormous storm dropped over three feet of snow on portillo. This morning went blue and it was a spectacular site, avalanches roared from high cliffs and the sun glistened off the mountains and lake, and then we laid down some fresh tracks when the mountain finally opened in the afternoon.
