Help me name my ski camp.
What's up boys?
I feel kinda bad about coming to you for advice since I haven't been a very good part of the community lately. I haven't even been lurking like I used to.
But I notice the same old crew hanging out. This site definitely rules when it comes to the quality and character of its people. A true laugh riot.
Anyways, enough sucking up.
Let's play name that camp!
I'm in the process of putting together big mountain skiing camps. This year the location will be Alta, then I might have camps in Europe or who knows where else next year.
I figured with all of the creative minds on this site I would take the easy way out and grovel for your input.
The name needs to be non site specific, since the camps could be staged anywhere. Other than that it's open warfare.
I will use the name for everything from my Website to advertisements, to anything.
Winner gets a brand new pair of Smith goggles(kid sized).
Just kidding. Man sized.

Once again, it is not an Alta specific camp. The name needs to leave out the word "camp".
Think of Dean's name for his company-H2O-clean and simple.
