Has anyone here gone to this? I am thinking about asking to go to a session for Christmas, and I want to know how good it is.

From what I hear it wasnt really shanes fault at all. HN is sweet, you learn a lot, have a ton of fun and ski with tons of chill people.

Before people start arguing about this, there's a thread that goes into this argument already.

There was a problem with insurance last summer. September 11th put all the camps into hot water, and high north did get shut down for three days.

Shane has made some partnerships that will allow him to run his camp problem-free this summer. High North will be back, better than ever, and problem-free.

If you hear anything different, it's wrong.



I'm over it.

yeah high north is the best camp on the glacier hands down. Best QP, insane hip 3 linking mini tables a medium table with a gauntlet run to get to it and a huge 50 footer. also the craziest rails on the glacier. And the pipe we had last year was the best kept pipe on the glacier. It was a killer camp. Your lucky if you get a session for christmas thats mighty exspensive.

Thanks for the input. If I did ask for it, I would probably be paying half. The only bad thing is I would be the only person I would know..... eh

No worries on not knowing anyone. It is a super mellow and friendly atmosphere, you'll meet a ton of cool peeps. I would ask for it from Santa, or Hanuka Harry, or the Kwanza Man.

I think most people come alone. Everyone is so chill tho and they have the same passion as you, no problem with that.

I went alone last summer and i think it was actually better than going with friends cause it give you more oppourtunities to meet new ppl and make new connections and shit... you wont make a bad decision by going to HN, its ths shit, thats all i can say its just the shit ...
What the hell were they doing with a car on the moon?... havent they gone far enough?

Any camp you go to will be worth it. HN SMS and COC all have great coaches and terrain. scope them out and see which coaches you would want to ride with.

yea man check em all out, while crusin thru the town i met a bunch of people goin to HN while i was at CoC and they loved it as much as i loved it so they're all good

-So you got fired again eh?
Yeah, they always freak out when you leave the scene of an accident, ya know?
Yeah, well, I lost my job too.
Man, you are one pathetic loser. No offense.
No, none taken. You know what really chaps my ass though? I spent my life savings turning my van into a dog. The alarm alone cost me two hundred.

first off, high north is KICK ASSSSSSS. i went with 2 buddies but there were like 8 total people from my hill. this summer i'm going for sesh 3 and 4, so anybody else going then let me know.

and second, MD is right, it's not shane's fault at all. after 9-11 the insurance agency changed their policy and the camp wasn't aware that they were on a different policy than before and somebody, they're not sure who, ratted them to the FIS, and they made a big deal about it.

Ok I REALLY don't want to get into this again but Mad_Trixx you're not right. What Doug (MDFresh) said was perfectly correct, but you must have some misinformation. ANYWAYS, High North will for sure be killing it again on the glacier this summer so for all those interested, the new HN website will be up soon @ highnorthskicamp.com.

later

Don't worry about it. Camp atmosphere is super chill and there are skiers of all abilities. There is always something for everyone to get stoked on and learn tons. Sick coaching staff, (last summer: Shane Szocs, Mike Atkinson, Shannon Schad, Pep Fujas, Chris Turpin, Mark McDonnel, Julian LaForge, Shane Anderson, Peter Olenick, Marc Abma, Josh Loubeck, and more), fresh barbeque and ( only one on the glacier), private chef on hill, the sickest, most buffed-out lane on the glacier, Ah hell, look on the website soon and learn.

and when he says private chef, he means private gourmet chef. crab legs, lobster, 12 oz. steak, pastas, it was actually quite amazing. camp was the best time i've ever had. that would be the best christmas present in the world.

Well, last night I found out My parents will pay for me to go to camp, and I don't have to waste a X-mas present on it. I guess my parents wanted me to go on a cruise with them (they go free for work) but an extra ticket would 3000 dollars. So they said they would pay for me to go. What is the best session to go to?
