K2 FREESKIING WORLD TOUR CAMPS
El Colorado ski resort, in aliance with the Freeskiing World Tour develops a new Freeskiing trainig camp.
The Freeskiing World Tour, FWT, is the most prestigious competitive big mountain skiing tour in the world.
For more than 12 years countries around the globe have hosted different stops of the tour, including Chile.
Among the ex world champions are athletes like Seth Morrison, Ingrid Backstrom, Ian Macintosh, Dave Swanwick and the remembered Shane McConkey, who was not only the first champion of the tour but the founder of the IFSA (international Free Skiers Association).
For the 2010-2011 season, the first stop of the tour will be in El Colorado-Farellones-Chile from August 19-21, and then it will move to Argentina, USA and Canada.
MSI (Mountain Sports International), the producer of the FWT has decided to start in Chile an interesting project for all of the Chilean and international skiers:
Develop Camps to teach the freeskiing basis to people who are interested in getting more involved with the competitive world. The dates of the Camps will be for the last week of July and all of August.
"El Colorado ski resort has the best conditions to develop this project, which will be repeated in the different ski resorts around USA and Canada that are the hosts of the different stops of the tour, that is why we are stoked about starting this in Chile" says the camp director for South America, Rodrigo Medina.
The chief coach will be Griffin Post, the winner of the Crested Butte stop and one of the best on the tour. He will be one of the coaches along with other such as Drew Stecklein and Ben Wheller, who will develop 3 and 7 days camps for all ages.
"We are very happy that the Freeskiing World Tour choose us to start this project. We have hopes that this will be a successful project, that will put El Colorado ski resort in top class level" says Aldo Boitano, El Colorado CEO.
