^That's why you go to camp and learn to throw down huge so you'll rip like the rest of them.

Camps...almost any of them, whether in Whistler or at Hood, are the best place to learn and progress...just work hard while you are there...

Don't worry at all, as long as you are a chill kid and you have fun, no one can (or will) say shit to you. There were like 3 kids that seemed to have never skied at all when I went there last year.

no matter what camp you go to, if you put in the effort you'll be throwing down at the end of it. the coaches are there to help, and the other kids are usually really nice. they know everyone has to start somewhere, and they help you get better too. If you try, you'll be throwin' 5's by the end of it.

don't go to windells, by what i've seen it's not tight at all. me and my friends were going up to timberline this summer and by the time we got up to govy we found out it was closed so we stopped by windells on the way back. they had some sick shit like a skatepark and shit but everyone that went there was incredibly gay. everyone dressed exactly the same, they all wore like beat up clothes and shit but had thousands of dollars worth of gear and shit in their rooms. no one was kicken it either they were all downers and not tight....this might have just been the kids i saw, but i would never waste that much money on it

there will always be someone worse than you there. unless... you are that person, ok well nevermind that was a really dumb statement. But yeah dude shoot for it, the reason is to progress, i went to a ski camp last year and i couldnt even do a 180. all i could do was straight airs. so go for it.

Theres nothing wrong with being a beginner. Everybody has to start somewhere. But if you talk a lot of shit and you are a beginner, THEN people will be a dick to you, but I doubt you're a shittalker, so just be nice and chill, and you'll have FUN!

the only thing is, isn't it a lot of money?
I'm waiting a year cuz i want to be able to learn as much as i possibly can from them. I don't have enough money to do it every year, so that might be your only deciding factor.
