Farnham Glacier Olympic Training Facility

Submitted by robplato on Sat, 2008-07-19 15:35.

After a couple of weeks working out at the Farnham Glacier Olympic Training Facility as a cat operator I've taken a few photos along the way. The camp named Camp Green is located just below the toe of the Farnham Glacier where various groups of Canadian Olympic athletes train as well as future competitors. Everything from freestyle to downhill including skiers and snowboarders. About 50 athletes can be accomadated at one time with a similar setup to winter cat skiing operations this year run by Chatter Creek Cat Skiing. Early mornings are the norm with breakfast at 4:30 am then up to the glacier for skiing until around noon when the snow gets too soft. I've got 3 more day then off for a few weeks. Most of the training happens in the fall. Endless Winter ! see the Farnham folder in the more photos then other outdoor images section of this site or past this link. http://www.robplato.com/photos/farnham-glacier
