The Murray Camp Drinking Machine

When the Wand of Death allocates them to Kim's group, some of the more testosterone-endowed Campers are often possessed of the bizarre notion that they have somehow got off lightly and can look forward to a slightly less lethal Murray Camp experience than they would get with one of the other dinosaurscoaches. As anyone who has survived the full Kim experience will testify (after they come out of surgery), this notion is somewhat flawed. Or just plain wrong. From the moment her Campers are required futilely to follow as she disappears into the distance at a speed known affectionately as mach Kim to the seemingly-endless pant-soiling tour of steep double black diamonds, it is clear who is wearing the trousers in this group. It has even been speculated that, beneath her pleasant exterior, Kim might possibly be the most ruthless of all of the coaches - a point illustrated by her reaction, a few seasons ago, to an urgent cell phone call from a very experienced Camper in her group who had managed to maim himself in a high-speed, mid-air confrontation with a race netting hoist - Kim's highly sympathetic reaction: "weren't you looking where you were going?"

Unfortunately for her Campers, the Kim lesson in ruthlessness does not end when they leave the slopes. If any of them are foolish enough to hang around in the bar after Apres, they risk being dragged into the never-to-be-remembered Kim drinking experience. This is an activity that even strikes fear into the other coaches and you will see them turn tail and run for their livers rather than risk being sucked into a Kim drinking session. In fact, it often appears that one of husband Ken's primary duties in life is in dragging Kim out of the bar before she can get into her full Camper-destroying stride.
