The Gritt Freeride Camps is a program Charlie started with his brother and friends five years ago. Since inception, the camps have grown in popularity each year and Gritt has been able to pave the way for two camp attendees to compete at the Freeride World Championship in Europe. Charlie has been a keen skier all his life and has competed and filmed around the world. His goal is to provide coaching and advice to young skiers who are in the same position as he was 15 years ago. To support these up-and-coming skiers and teach them what he and the Gritt crew have learnt over the years has been a dream come true.
