Great local slope to make a few turns.....literally. It's called East Hill because it is just that....a hill. I was on skis at age 3 and enjoyed years of lessons there. I ended up instructing there for 4 years during high school and shared the joy of teaching local kids to ski.
Ultimately I went on to qualify for the Giant Slalom National Championships the past 5 years. Across the years I have been fortunate enough to race with great US Ski Team members like Phil Mahre, Bode Miller, Darron Rahlves, Doug Lewis, Tommy Moe, Eric Schlopy, AJ Kitt, Casey Puckett, and Johnny Mosley. Last December I spent a month in Austria in race clinic training with their National team and several other countries Olympic teams. It was a skiing experience that will last a lifetime.
I no longer live in Camillus and have not been to East Hill in years. I enjoy the sun of NC.....lucky enough to drive/fly to the snow. The same format of weekly lessons is still offered from the ski school....I wonder if the instructors still wear Orange jackets.
Long story short, I have been all over the world skiing and would not have been able to experience any of it without Camillus Ski Association and what I learned at East Hill!
I wish my kids could learn there.....
