The 8th Annual Mike and Manny Cowboy's camp kicked off in style, with a bluebird day on Whistler Blackcomb and fresh snow on the ground.
An exciting day for all of us, especially those who have never been to Whistler or even seen big mountains. In true Whistler fashion we took them straight to the top of the mountain to work on balance by skiing Spanky's Ladder and Couloir Extreme.
"This is my first time skiing powder!" exclaimed Dagmar D'Agostino from North Bay Ontario.
"I've never seen Mountains this big." said Liam from Poley Mountain, NB.
After the "Big Mountain" experience, we settled into the groove of slalom and slalom element training, working on line, platform and balance.

The Mike & Manny Foundation has welcomed over 90 athletes to our ski camp over the past 8 years and we look forward to continuing this success.
Huge thank you to all our supporters. None of this would be possible without your help and generosity!
Mike and Manny
