they are really expensive, but ive gone twice and both years were definitely worth it. and yeah, if you work hard enough you can afford it. i worked all summer and made like 3000 dollars and spent half on camp. its annoying to save so much money, but do it, its worth it.

do what this guys says. meet some locals and party. poop in the woods. cook weiners(haha). and you will have the best damn time of your life!

even if you have to drive 30 hrs to get there.

not like they'd want you at one..
you'd be too good for them.

but yeah they are effing expensive. bahh. just work like crazy and then you get mulah that you can spend to go. but not like youd want to use much of it on a camp.

instead of wasting you money on shitty parks on a scrap of a glacier, go rip 40cms of pow everyday.

if you've never gone then go its my freshman year in college right now and (from my perspective) the summer before college do all the things you can, because once you're in school you'll probably never get another chance

I went to Mt. Hood last summer twice. The first time we went, we planned it out and got all the camping gear and shit, and then we set up camp on the Zig Zag creek. It was like 95 degrees out, and we had a small river running through our camp site, with 4 thrity bombs of High Life, 2 bottles of Jeger, a case of redbull and an Ounce. For 4 days, and 3 people. It was the dopest time of my entire life.

The second time we just bounced to hood one day in early august, show up and there's a rail jam going down. We camped in the woods next to the timberline parking lot. Bad idea.

It got so fucking cold, and we weren't prepared at all, skied the jam, and left the next day. It was whack

They are kinda over rated, but they are alot of fun. I would never pay for a camp with my own money.

A whole group of snowboarders is going from my school. Funny thing is that they all suck and there parents are buying it for them. My friend that skis was going to go but they are so damn expensive unless someone else pays for it.
