Camp of Champions/Momentum- If you have the money go there

Windells- Cheaper but not as luxurious, but sick coaches

We, the Camp of Champions, are located in whistler Canada, so with the exchange rate from US $ to CAD, we're actually cheaper than Windells who is located in Oregon. Our new site is dropping in a few days, so keep an eye out for it.

about 1000 in airfare (give or take)
3600 for the cheapest session
but it would be worth the money....

Hey dude, an 8 Day Deluxe session (with accommodation) is $2,325 CAD, which works out to $1,875 US based on todays exchange rate.

TJ Schiller, Sarah Burke, Justin Dorey, Mike Riddle, Colby West, Josh Bibby, Ian Cosco, Rory Bushfield, JF Houle, Tanner Rainville, Chris Turpin.

Momentum all the way, that is the most epic coaching lineup of all time.

yeah basically. Just pick a date, register, book your ticket and get a passport sorted out. Then you're all good to go.

I went to Camp of Champions when I was 14 by myself. I'm 23 now and want to go back sooo bad. I may spring for it this summer. Absolutely awesome camp. Top notch. First Class establishment. Best lines in on the Glacier too

The coaching at windells is fine. i can see why some people would think the coachings not that great because alot of kids just go there to ski rather than to be coached, so the coaches dont wanna force anyone to sit through trick tips. If you make an effort to ask one of the coaches how to do a trick they will definitely give you good help.
