I'm wondering if I should go to High North this summer. I haven't done any park skiing, but there are some days left this season when I could try it out. How good at it should I be if I go to camp?

You should be at least an intermediate skier, and it helps if you have done some jumping. Some ppl were learning just how to clear a small table last year, if you like park skiing than summer camp would be cool.

this guy that i know, he is gay and told everyone i suck at skiing, and he cant even do a grab, is going to SMS this summer. it was funny he was like im going to misty and he cant even land one on the tramp, and then he was like im going to go onto a rail switch and come off switch, this was the day beofe our school was oging skiing, and then i came off switch and attemped to come on switch, and he couldnt do rails at all, it was sooo funny. hes gay, yah. he also informs me taht at SMS seath morrison will teach him how to backflip. he cant clear the 6 foot tables at snoqualmie.

haha, that's fucking great. I can't land a misty on the tramp though, but I'm a lot closer to doing it on skis.

if i remember correctly someone said that SMS is more for beginners, and if you are pretty good then go to High North.

It looked like there were plenty of beginners at sms, but that could have been the mogulists just chillin. There were a lot of girl beginners at HN, one of em fucking went off, impressed everyone...on telis.

Theres an article in the latest freeze on all the camps and jobs there, but i think you have to be 18 or something to get a job.

SMS is still pretty advanced...like I think High North is a little more serious about it....like the people there really want to stick big tricks....SMS if u wanna do a big trick u can learn it

That was just so fresh, how you took it out of context like that...Do u have any Titanic Jokes for me?
