Ive been reading a posting on this notion.  This is whats up.   In the morning you hang out with a salomon pro, they teach you some stuff till noon.  At noon they have a little jam comp (slopstyle).  Dont have to be good dont have to be bad, all for fun, so sign up.

You forgot 1 detail: In each of the groups with the Salomon pro, everyone picks an MVP to go to the Comp later in the day.

Here:  Maybe this little video will sort of show the goings on a crappy little PA hill in crappy conditions.  

Everyone in spite of the conditions had a really good time.  Thats truly what these events are, a really good time.  All the Salomon athletes are really personable and fun to hang with.

The jib academies are a highlight of my sons last 2 seasons.

Just sign up you can't lose anything, although I'm wondering if you have to pay for a lift pass for a hill, only thing that isn't stated anywhere...

I'm in for Calgary btw

You just have to pay for your lift ticket but there will be discount lift tickets at COP if you are in Jib Academy. It's going to be sick.
