Hi Perry – Sorry if I am getting to this too late, especially as I think by now the application process is closed. I’m not sure how strict the Camp is on ages and suspect that it has more to do with ability, but I’m not certain.

Great advice, I love how you make little drawings to your posts, they really help to explain everything in detail.

Would you consider a 13 and a 12 year old? They finished 1st and 5th respectively in the Tahoe Junior Freeride Series (about 60 kids.) Both have backcountry skied, camped a lot, backpacked, rock climbed, etc.

A great opportunity. Wow.

Thanks for your consideration.

The title of this post sounded dirtier than the actual content.

Comment on SkiLink Update by Andrew

Thanks for the link Bob – that had some interesting titbits in it.
1) Alta/Onno hate the proposed Wilderness Bill
2) Alta/Onno’s plans to expand into Grizzly Gulch
3) Alta’s congressional request to buy the land that some of their buildings are located on (Forest Service land?) passed in the Senate, but died in the House. This is good news not just by itself, but also as a potential indicator of how the SkiLink decision may go.
