well since nobody seems to wanna help you and they think this thread is a big joke... ill step up.

as long as you have a decent amount of skiing experiance and feel comfortable in the air and hitting kickers and rails, you'll be fine. theres always someone there thats better than you, and theres always somone there worse than you.

just approach it w/ the attitude of a general love for skiing and a desire to get better and dont worry about what everyone else is throwin down, just have a good time and start w/ what you can consistantly stomp and work your way up.

If you're afraid of making a "fool" of yourself by probably not being as good of a skier as than someone else, don't be. There are always people who make fun of less talented or less experienced people in every sport, but I would imagine COC to be a place where there is a minimum amount of that kind.. This isn't a team sport, so you don't have to care what others think about your abilities, and besides, you're there to improve yourself and have fun!

Those who make fun of others are, in the end, ignored by others. Don't care about them.

im pretty sure you just need to be able to ski down a run well... they can teach you the rest...

they just dont want kids on rental skis who have no idea on what the hell they are doing

Ha, we actually get this question a lot! To ease your fears, almost 50% of our campers are novice park riders.

Don't worry about feeling like you'll suck and people will make fun of you. That doesn't happen and if it does, the person is quickly shut down and put in their place by one of our pro shreds. We don't tolerate that kind of crap.

Let me know if you have any other questions and we hope to see you next summer!

Don't worry about your skill. Just go. Around half the kids who go there are just learning the basics. It's a really chill atmosphere and you'll learn so much.

Dude just go! It will be the time of your life. I've gone for three years and it gets better each year. My first year i was nervous but the vibes are just so positive and no one cares if you are good or not. The coaches are chill and helpful too! I learned backflips before I learned 360s there! Go to camp!

If you want to get the best possible experience make sure you can 360 before you go.

They have tiny jumps all the way to massive jumps... like 5ft tables up to 70ft tables or so. You could learn your first 180 or your first double flip. Don't worry cuz at CoC they have something for every ability.

If your afraid of people making fun of you then just work hard to get better. Dont be the guy that is always hella shy and the last one to hit every feature. just work hard and ski as much as you can, people really respect that.

as long as you can make it to the end of a box regardless of style and throw the ugliest 360 you'll be ready to go. Once you start to get those basics, you should be able to achieve much more progressio in your session than if you had to learn how to slide a box and throw a 3 during your session.

when I went to momentum for the 1st time I sucked
didnt own my own skis
cud barely slide a box
cudnt 3
I got sooooooooooooooo much better since then and during my time there
They also put evryone in groups by skill so I was with people who were doing the samethings as me
I'm assuming COC does the same so you would be in a groups with other beginners who are at the same level as you

I was scared about being a noob when I went to camp last summer. The kids at my hill were probably better than the average skier in my camp so I didn't have to worry about being the biggest noob in the group. But don't worry about that. Once you're at camp you will be so excited you won't care if you are the worst skier in your camp.
