i know there's a bunch of them. Im looking for possibly the one that costs the less but has the best features.  i'm 24, soo looking to try to avoid the ones centered towards younger kids, and im looking for larger features...

Momentum probably, unless you live on the east coast (flights are expensive)

Windells the flights are cheaper but momentum has water ramps and more snow = larger features

Momentum was awesome! plus you can have quick laps on the t-bar instead of waiting forever to hit your next jump

COC has a better park but i hear that they don't really coach you and you pay to just session the park.  However the Park at Momentum is not quite as big but the coaches there changed my riding so much.  I owe almost every good trick i know to them.  also with Momentum they dont care what you do, you have total freedom off the mountain.  I recommend Momentum.

We'd be stoked to have you come ski with us at the Camp of Champions. We're cheaper than any hood camp with the current US/CDN exchange rate. We're similar in price to any Whistler camp, but our park is twice the size of any other Whistler camp and we have the only private half pipe. The other Whistler camps share the pipe with each other and the public.

Check out our site for more info. The site is from this past summer, but the 09 dates and rates are up and we're dropping our new site on Feb 1st. Hope to see you this summer!

MHSSC

Best camp ever. No hype, no "I'm better than thou" bullshit between campers, super chill and good coaches, most fun/dangerous vans ever, small (good place to get to know a lot of kids), and cheap.

MHSSC is kinda a beginner camp but still super fun, if you want to learn a lot of things go there just cause boxes are ride on and jumps are on the smaller side, and a lot of younger kids...

but it depends on how much you want to spend because COC pics look redic and sound good for you

Momentum, has some sick features, by far the sickest coaches, and you can spin the fastest lanes up there. One thing no one really mentions about COC is the zoo of a T-Bar they have, it could take you a good 20 minutes just to get on the T-bar because they have to share it with the public park and COC snowboarders. Momentum has its own TBar and HN old lane so they set up those 2 monster jumps which were unbelievably fun.

Our t-bar, Horstman t-bar, can get a little busy in the afternoon on the weekends. The Showcase t-bar is also shared with all of the camps on the Showcase side of the glacier.

The Horstman side of the glacier is actually significantly longer than the Showcase side, so we're able to pack a lot more features and longer lines of features in our park vs. any camp on the Showcase side. Makes for a better variety of features that can be linked together on every run. Plus our pipe is places right in our lane, so you can hit a few jumps, get a few hits in the pipe,

Did you ride there this summer?? The top few features are definitely for beginners but the middle and bottom rail setups were great. A 25 foot urban on down bar and 25 foot urban on flat, good rainbow box. The top jump was smallish but left side middle and bottom jumps were large. Smooth (not hucked) double backflips and double cork 10s were going down on the left side middle jump, and the 3rd jump was even bigger. After 1pm a lot of older kids show up to ride and some good sessions go off.
