Keely’s Ski Camp for Girls

Once the small-hill season is done, there are still plenty of opportunities to build big mountain skills for ski racers. Former USST athlete Keely Kelleher, the 2010 super G national champ, is hosting a special big mountain freeskiing camp for junior girls this April 14 and 15 at Snowbird. A passionate skier, Kelleher credits her personal motivation to growing up in Big Sky and having coaches who instilled a love of skiing. “Big mountain skiing skills need to be emphasized in more programs,” she says. Last summer, Kelleher started an all girls race camp at Hood, and is now branching out in to freeskiing camps, too. “I want to give young ladies who are ski racing an opportunity to learn the big mountain skiing skills that will help them in racing, freeskiing, and life — keeping them in the sport,” says Kelleher. “Our coaches are the ‘sheroes’ of the sport and we’re dedicated to spreading the love of skiing to other girls.” In addition to expanding their skill base, Keely’s campers will also learn basics of big mountain safety and get an hour introduction to avalanche safety, things that Keely says “many young ladies in ski racing never get to learn.”
