Event Details
Skiers and snowboarders, join Kristen January 10-12, 2025 at Powder Mountain. Skiers join her January 19-21, 2025 at Alta, Utah for a fun and powerful weekend to learn, first of all, how to deal with fear and anxiety in sports and in life, such that it no longer holds you back.
Next experience her 4-step process to access flow states, transforming your ski experience into what you always hoped it could be.
Expect to be blown away, and excited about your life in next-level ways that you never thought possible. Break free from former stuck places not just in skiing, but also relationships and career. This camp helps us be the best athletes and people we can be. It also leaves us armed with tools to maintain these results in a lasting way.
Is this what you’re looking for?
This proven-to-work 3 day camp is for you, if you feel any of the following:
- That your skiing is compromised by too much fear
- Excessive fear or anxiety in other areas of your life besides skiing
- Emotionally held back by a past injury or accident
- Like you’ve stopped progressing at skiing or something else, or have even digressed
- Fearless in one area of your life, but not in another
- Just fine, but know you can do better
- Like there’s something else to life and skiing that you just can’t seem to grasp or hang on to
- A desire to become more emotionally engaged
- Like you’re ready to access new forms of motivation, beyond what has served you in the past
- Ready to stop merely existing, and come alive once and for all
All this and more alongside like-minded, amazing people – in Utah this coming winter.
”Oh, my God. It was incredible. Literally zero actual advice about skiing, and my skiing is probably 40% better, and it was seriously the best weekend of my entire life.“
– Nicole Cliffe
Learn From a World Class Athlete and High Performance Facilitator
What does it take to be the best?
Kristen was named the best female big mountain extreme skier in the world, a status she kept for 12 years. Known for enormous cliff jumps and you-fall-you die descents (none of which you’ll do during camp!), she was inducted into the US Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame Sept. of 2019. Her mastery of other danger sports including paragliding, ice and rock climbing, kiteboarding, adventure mountain biking and flying trapeze also gained her the outdoor industry vote as most fearless woman athlete in North America, beating all danger-sports stars, not just skiers.
Retired as an athlete since 2003, she then spent 14 years going to the next level — studying Zen intently as a way to dissect what she experienced during her athletic career. This led to facilitating tens of thousands of clients, making her today a thought leader on high performance mindset and how to access flow states or the zone by choice rather than by chance.
Her other specialties include accessing whole mind thinking, igniting aliveness, spiritual intelligence, embracing change, what to do about fear / anxiety and more.
Kristen’s Amazon best selling book: The Art of Fear: Why Conquering Fear Won’t Work and What to Do Instead, is an industry game changer, and her remarkable work has been featured on Tim Ferriss’s Tribe of Mentors, The Megyn Kelly Show, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Outside, Forbes, USA Today, Mindvalley, Spartan, NPR, over 150 podcasts and many more.
Working with her live is a remarkable experience, not to be missed.
Here’s What You Learn
This is not another ski camp or ski school lesson providing technical tips.
Instead, this is a fresh, highly effective, mindset-only camp, which teaches you:
- Exactly what to do about performance anxiety (hint, it’s not about getting rid of it)
- How to handle fear so it doesn’t hold you back
- How to get out of a negative mental loop (hint, it’s not about replacing it with positivity)
- Ways to get out of your head (finally!) and into your body
- What is a flow state, and how to get there whenever you like
- How to feel confident, without having to pretend
- How to find and become intimate with your favorite mindsets (which are different for everyone)
- What it takes to ignite new forms of motivation, versus staying the same every year
- Steps to ensure this all sticks with you, past the weekend
- Steps to take what you experience while skiing, and apply it to other areas of your life

Logistics
There are three different ability groups: groomers-only, all-mountain slower, and all-mountain fast. You pick which one works best for you, with the ability to adjust into a different group each run.
It’s a comfortable experience throughout. We won’t ski you into exhaustion, nor do you ski above your ability level. This camp is not about taking risks or stepping out of your physical comfort zone. (That you can do on your own, should you desire, after camp ends).

Now it’s your turn
Each hour you attend the camp is a step-by-step journey into getting unstuck and accessing your most amazing self. But it’s not the same journey for everyone. We’re all so different and attending for different reasons, due to the nature of Kristen’s facilitation style, you find only and exactly what you’re looking for.
Which also may be different than what you originally presumed!
So, join us this year. Fascinating, enlivening, this camp is exactly what you hope it to be. Plus, spending time with the others guests alone, makes it worth attending. Plan for the whole experience being the highlight of your winter, maybe even your whole life. Plan to see and experience yourself, skiing, the mountains, others and life itself in new and profound ways.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of people attend this ski camp?
Amazing, awake, alive people such as yourself (otherwise you wouldn’t be reading this) who are in themselves, inspirational. We tend to attract only folks committed to being the best they can be, and who want to live the highest quality life possible.
How is this ski camp different from taking lessons or attending other ski camps?
USA Today calls Kristen’s ski camps the only of it’s kind anywhere in the world, in any sport.
Why?
Every winter day tens of thousands of ski lessons occur around the world. There also exists hundreds of ski camps or adventures, often run by former pros. Almost exclusively, such gatherings are focused either on socializing (and taking a picture with the former pro), and/or technical and physical skills. The same goes for lessons or camps in other sports as well.
The Art of Fear Camp however, is not in the same category. It’s not about where to plant your pole, how to finish your turn, etc. This type of instruction has its place –but past a certain point too much form / technique training keeps you stuck in your head or can hold you back from your potential.
It’s also not about fraternizing with Hall of Fame skier Kristen Ulmer, either. Although that’s a perk (wink).
Instead, this is about the bigger game. Kristen considers her ski career mere training for the teacher she has now become. At the Art of Fear Camp, Kristen’s draws from 36 years of real world experience and her innate facilitation skills to transmit what it really takes to become good at a sport such as skiing, and how that applies to anything in life.
Given this, there is no institution. There are no lectures. Your experiences are instead, embodied. We start by exploring our unique, personal mental game, then take a huge step beyond to access, embody and express other forms of consciousness / intelligence that you may not know even exist.
It truly is a transformative experience that also spills over in fascinating ways to your everyday life.
This is how Kristen helps a room of folks with different agendas, all at the same time.
The other thing is, this camp is not about hashing over your or anyone’s past life details –which is very time consuming and unnecessary. With that out of the picture, we cover a lot of ground quickly, and only address what’s going on for you today.
How can this be the only camp of it’s kind in the world?
Yes, it’s true. USA Today calls Kristen’s ski camps the only of it’s kind anywhere in the world, in any sport. Attend and you experience why (wink).
The take-aways are also likely the opposite of anything you’ve experienced as a skier thus far.
But rest assured, if it doesn’t blow your mind and change your life perspective and approach for good, what the heck –come find out anyway. You’ll still have an exceptional time so you have nothing to lose.
How big is the group?
The camp caps at 20 people total, including guides.
When on the mountain, we all ride the lifts together and share in the mindset facilitation with Kristen as a group. When skiing down though, we separate into like-ability groups. On average, each group is 4-6 strong, with no more than 7. You have a guide with you to make sure you don’t get lost, and you ski terrain which gently stimulates and/or suites your ability.
Then we meet at the bottom together again as a group, where the next facilitated mindset experience with Kristen will occur.
Am I a good enough skier to attend?
There are three levels of skiers in attendance. If you can ski groomed runs with confidence, you have a place. There’s also a middle ability group that skis the whole mountain but likes to take things a bit cautious. As for the fastest group, read “Am I too good a skier to attend” for info on this one.
Can I bring my kid?
I’m slightly injured, what are my options?
If you’re slightly injured but can still ski- you can modify your inclusion to ski groomers-only and/or ski a shorter day.
If you can’t ski, attend the indoor sessions only (approximately 3-4 hours per day) and Kristen can offer you greater attention during these times.
I’m a shy person, will I feel awkward at this camp?
I can’t afford this camp, what do you recommend?
We don’t like to turn anyone away who can’t afford to attend. Given this, write us an email: kristen@kristenulmer.com to explain what you can afford to pay (note, for the camp only, we cannot provide amenities like lift tickets or lodging) and let’s talk about it?
Am I TOO good a skier to attend?
Nope. These camps are open to world-class level skiers, and several big name pros have attended. These camps were even initially built for elite athletes such as yourself. The level of the highest group is always all mountain, fast and strong.
Also consider coming to Alaska- which is for experts only. It’s not a camp, but a chance to ski with Kristen just for fun. She does not charge anything for this experience. Only, you pay for your seat in the helicopter. Write to kristen@kristenulmer.com for details.
How much actual skiing do we do?
We will ski between 4-5 hours per day and take about 7-8 runs total. In between each run, you’re facilitated for a spell by Kristen, so expect to log about 15-20,000 vertical feet.
What should I do about Lodging?
The historic Goldminers Daughter lodge at Alta, Utah is an optimal place to stay. Book early though, as they sell out. You’re also welcome to commute from elsewhere at Alta, or from Snowbird (1 mile away) Salt Lake City (7-14 miles away- specifically Cottonwood Heights is closest) or even Park City (40 miles away).
What about lift tickets?
Because so many people have travel oriented seasons passes these days, lift tickets are not included in the camp price.
If you do not have such a pass, plan to buy a 2-day ticket on your own.
What’s the cancellation policy?
For any event that involves interacting with Kristen live, the cancellation policy is full refund two months prior to the start of your event.
After than there is no refund, but you can transfer or sell your seat to a friend or family member.
Does Kristen run women’s-only camps?
No. Unless it’s a requested private-hire, Kristen offers unisex camps only.
What if I’m a snowboarder?
Alas, Alta doesn’t allow snowboarding so that camp is for skiers only. But Powder Mountain does allow it! Join us for this exciting new camp then, at Powder Mountain, first time ever in 2025 and hopefully ongoing. Another option is hire Kristen to ski with you privately. Write to kristen@kristenulmer.com for details.
I’m religious, will this camp honor my tradition?
Yes. While Kristen’s training is in Zen, this camp offers no philosophy. It’s instead, a journey into your undercurrent to get clear about where you’re currently stuck, a chance to get unstuck, and a chance to fully access who you’re meant to be, all the way.
That being said, your tradition though, can be weaved into the process to enhance whatever draws you to that particular religion, in a gorgeous way. Simply make this request after you sign up.
I’m worried this is a new age program.
This is not a new age program. Kristen takes steps to avoid that kind of presentation. Based on ancient wisdom traditions and the evolution and westernization of that wisdom, we don’t sing Kumbaya, we prefer dirty jokes.
