Heh, funny I just emailed you about attending one of your camps...
I'm definitely interested in a camp with BC emphasis and Avy education. Gaining more of this type of experience and knowledge is why I'm interested in your camp anyways.
Dates you posted may be sketchy for me (Dec 3,4 5 is GOOD! Planning to be there that weekend already), but if I can't do the Maggot Camp, I'm prolly in for the Jan. regular Camp provided there's room and a couple of details can be worked out.
I'd definitely be interested - and Jan. works well for me as well . . .

I'd say for example that I could rotate at least 6 guest coaches through the groups, and maybe have mini clinics with some others. I wouldn't want to turn it into a zoo, but the goal would be to allow attendees to meet and hang out with some local pros and maybe learn something from them.
For example, Jamie Pierre already told me he'd be willing to do a cliffs clinic, etc.
The basic foundation for the camp would remain similar to the other camps though, with an emphasis on learning.
Whoops. Sorry....my bad.
Sounds Awesome!My finances are tight right now,But in a month I should have some cash!
I'd fly out if it were in January.
No B, not at all. My bad the whole way.Quote:

edit - head up ass as usual...
Jan 7, 8, 9 may be excellent.
Jan. I'm in. Dec. hard to do.
No problem Buzz, I agree.
So it's a no-go on December 17, 18, 19.
That leaves December 10, 11, 12 or January 7, 8, 9.
I think with the strong start to the season, either one would be good timing conditions-wise. Also, both dates are the least crowded time of the season.
I think if we could get at least 15 people to attend, the camp would be a go.
Bah. I've got avy classes on both those weekends. :(
I'm about 91% sure I + one other lurker, sometimes poster would attend the 7,8,9 camp... I'm going to be out that way somewhere, but not sure where.Quote:

That was pretty damn selfish on my part.
I am sorry for that rash crap, maybe I should delete my posts.
I edited them for a little less assholeness. Maybe I need to step away for a while.
And this one time at Maggot Camp."

Very interested. Please keep me in the loop.
OK, if you think you might be interested in attending a camp, e-mail me and let me know your preferred date. That way I can keep everyone in the loop.

I don't want to advertise this on my Website since it is a Maggot thing, so I figure direct contact is the best bet. Contacting me will not be considered reserving your spot, it's just to keep the ball rolling.
I already have a Utah trip planned for Dec 10-12 - so those dates will fit perfect - sweet.
jan. 7,8,9 is excellent. before that, there's no way i could come. others?
and i'd be interested in jamie's session a great deal. i'm of the opinion he's got a head on his shoulders it's just hard to percieve in media. there's a reason he's alive. but my interest in drops largely depends on the skills others will be teaching.
human factor in risk/decision making is THE skill i would love to discuss, debate, learn about the most along with viddy/coaching. i spend a lot of time on risk management, personally, and i think it's why i'm still in one piece.
also, speed management, not just turns, but pretty signicant speed stuff like the article in a mag or whatever it was last year or two years ago, that someone did on i believe a photo sequence of you. they were drawing attention to a skid technique to scrub off some hi speed just before a launch. little known techniques like that are gold to
me.
oh, and will there be a steez/bling session? I'd really like to work on my style. how good are your instructors pouts? do you guys wear camo onepieces a la jon olsson? preferably in pink, thanks. feel free to contact me on these and other important style issues.
:biggrin:
I'm in w/ elevens for dec 10-12th. if conditions permit, i think im going to be in europe during the 7-9 timeframe.. returning right about then, but without enough time to get out to utah unfortunately.
January would be as perfect as perfect can get.
No work, no school until Monday.
Hmmm... new skis or new skills?
I'm thinking skill and avalanche knowledge will keep my ass alive so I can live to enjoy skis.
This is awesome, Gordy, you're a good man for coming up with this.
P.S., Mr. SCA would be an awesome coach, they all would. Straightlining like Nobis is fun, but has almost gotten me in trouble at resorts.
Thanks, dude.
I'll get you the money soon.
I keep reading the thread title as "Thinking about doing a camp Maggot."
Am I gay?
