Tecnica Blizzard and Keely’s Ski Camp for Girls is still accepting applications for the Third Annual “Girl on Fire” sponsorship, providing equipment and training support to two special female skiers.
Selected recipients will span styles of riding with one alpine racer and one big mountain free rider chosen for the sponsorship. To be selected, applicants will need to exhibit a palpable dedication and passion for skiing in all aspects of life.
Two pairs of Blizzard skis and one pair of Tecnica boots will be awarded to each winner. The final prize is a spot to ride at the 2016 Kelley’s Camp. Winners will be announced November 16, 2015.
With the slogan “Girls Moving Mountains,” Keely’s Camp for Girls was founded by Blizzard Tecnica athlete and U.S. Ski Team alumni, Keely Kelleher.
The Camp seeks to “empower, inspire, educate and connect” the next generation of girls in skiing.
Coming from across the nation, girls attending the camp are coached and mentored by some of the best female athletes in the world. According to the camp, its team members share a list of accomplishments that include eight Olympic starts, 423 World Cup starts, nearly 300 years of ski racing and 80 years of coaching experience. These custom camp sessions are held at locations in Mt Hood, OR; Alta, UT; and Big Sky, MT.
Female skiers interested in applying for the sponsorship must be between the ages of 13 and 18. Applicants must describe in 250 words their future goals in skiing, involvement in their community and what it would mean to be a “Girl on Fire.”
Blizzard is a rising brand of alpine skis brought to customers by Blizzard Sport USA, its U.S. distributor, under The Tecnica Group umbrella where Blizzard and Tecnica operate as a single business unit in the United States. The Blizzard factory is in Mittersill, Austria.
