If you are over 50 years old you may be under the impression that your opportunity to attend a multi-day ski camp is in the rearview mirror but a ski resort in California is challenging the idea that ski camps are just for kids.
Mammoth Mountain has held three sessions of their “Ripping Over 50” camps this season and there is one coming up in April so it’s not too late to join. The camps range from 3.5 days to 5.5 days and include both indoor and onslope training.
You have to be over 50 years old to join and skiers and snowboarders of all skill levels are welcome. If you’re over 50 and looking to improve your skills on the slopes with like-minded riders, consider joining the next session which runs from April 14–17, 2025. Find more information below.
