THE ULTIMATE MOUNTAIN EXPERIENCE 

Canyons Ski and Snowboard School, in conjunction with former U.S. Ski Team coach Phil McNichol, introduces the most comprehensive and unique winter sports fantasy camp series ever: The Ultimate Mountain Experience. Thirteen athletes, including six Olympians who collectively have competed in every Winter Olympic Games since 1980, are now booking skiing and snowboarding adventures exclusively at Canyons Resort, the fourth-largest ski resort in North America.

From Holly Flanders (1980, 1984 Olympic Games) to Graham Watanabe (2006, 2010), the Ultimate Mountain Experience athletes have impeccable resumes in every discipline from Downhill to Moguls and Big Mountain to Park & Pipe.

“Never before has an entire generation of world-class athletes called one resort home for a experiential program,” said Phil McNichol, who coached the U.S. Ski Team from 1997 to 2008. “Throughout this season and beyond, The Ultimate Mountain Experience invites our guests to spend one to three days with icons in the sport – in an all-inclusive dream experience on and off the slopes.”

The Ultimate Mountain Experience consists of customizable programs and Celebrity Private Days with 13 elite athletes and six Signature Snow Sport Celebrity Experiences.
