I went to Highnorth last year and had a blast. I learned cool stuff on the water ramps and liked the coaches. But windells seems to have a bigger park and cooler jumps and more publicity. Which one would you suggest?

Bigger snowboard scene at Windells, but the ski scene is still really good. I wrote a review on it in the reviews section, check that out- I don't feel like writing it all again. Doesn't have ramps, but makes up for it with the skate/BMX facilities. The park onhill can be awesome if you're there the right time of year.

Whistler is more fun... Drinking age is lower.

COC sounds really good from their website. You should go there, they compare them all side by side.

Eh, COC doesnt have group coaching, its like a jam session where you go and get help if you want it, a lol of snowboarders ride there and it is big (250ppl), but they do have sick terrain and a lot of ppl like it. I went to HN last year too and Im going back, the coaches/terrain/town kick ass. I think next year I might go to windells because their terrain looks craaaazy. Not much to do afterwards tho, from what Ive heard.

Simple

You wanna party and have too much fun, come to whistler.

You wanna spend a little less money and get better quicker, it's a toss up between high north and windells. High north is going to have a session in mt hood too I heard.

Are you sure detective? Are they going to just rent someone elses park then? I got a packet with HN info and it said nothing about that, (got some cool stickers tho).

I'm not sure but I think Hood closes at 1:30 and Whistler at 3:30 during the summer, so you might get in more skiing at HN or CoC than Windells.

High north- individualized groups, smaller, no boarders, less ppl

COC-more terrain, many more rails, you free session all day and ask pros for help, boarders, 250ppl to a session.

Id say if you are beginning go to HN, of course its amazing for anyone of any skill but COC seems like it would be tough for beginners. I really like HN and will be there again but many ppl have said COC rules too. So go to the websites and check it out, see what you want more, for me, last year I wanted to be in a group with coaches and thats what sealed the deal, and COC seemed like it would be too chaotic. I just wanna chill, have fun and learn some things.
