If I were to put together a 5 day big mountain steep skiing camp with Micah Black on real deal big Alaskan peaks in February would any of you actually take me up on it?

Steeps Camp?
When you're feeling down, just remember: It's always darkest before it goes pitch .... fucking.... black.

Will Micha be wearing fur?
The utah mini might be an issue for some...$$$ for others. Is this a heli event or something less quan intensive?

It would have to be a heli event -- real big mountain stuff. Instruction would focus on line evaluation, safety, approach, technique, sluff mgmnt, etc...

I probably wouldn't be able to afford it no matter what, but I've also always had a bad attitude toward the 'name' camps/clinics, etc. It always seemed to me that there was a lot of extra expense associated with having the 'name' at the camp. That said, I know people who have done such camps (most notably Combs' camp) who have really liked them, so what do I know?? It's just my opinion that you can usually learn the same stuff from other people without paying for the name, and just because someone's well known doesn't mean they'll be a great coach (again, though, for all I know Micah's the best coach out there).

In this case, you wouldn't be paying for the name, it would be the same price of a regular trip, but you'd have access to a guy who regularly hits the steepest of the steep -- places we wouldn't normally take the average client.Originally posted by Dexter Rutecki

Sounds neat, but heli-skiing is waaaaaay too expensive for me. Unless you'd like to trade raft guide time Owens.
OOOOOOOHHHH, I'm the Juggernaut, bitch!

HELL YEAH!!
oh wait. I'm broke. Guess I'll have to wait until I'm 80 and rich on retirement funds, aka when I'm too broken-down to ski steeps.
so, wanna let me in free?? 
Not on here much anymore. Drop me an email if you want to contact me. Have a wonderful winter!

I might be interested (depends how the bizness is over the next couple of months) I'm guessing that "camp" means a package deal with the same people for all 5 days. if it was possible to jump in on a couple of days, or trade off with some other "campers"
I think that it could be an excellant possibility.

Owens,
A friend of mine, with fairly deep pockets (and possibly the ability to expense some of it), has been talking about doing some heli-skiing this year. He thinks AK is probably too far to go, but I figured I'd ask you anyway.
Yes, I'm secretly hoping he figures out a way to claim I'm a client, but it'll never happen.
Maybe you can email me and I'll forward info to him?[quote][//quote]
