Ive been to a spring and summer and you deff dont get the whole "camp" experience and dont learn as much tricks. There are about a tenth of the people there as there are in the summer

1st off, i went in spring and learned nothing, my COACHES, notice a the plural, its a possible +, were perma stoned.

On a better note, only 30 ppl in the camp, so its way more chill and a better friendship level with ppl

We got like 7 inches every night when i as there and my coaches were huckin flips and loops off cornices into like 3 feet of pow. we also did some backcountry hikin...

So if u get the right coach, ull deff fo some powder in spring lol, it was sick as hell

I went to spring camp.. I learned a lot and had a fun time.  If you want to go from nothing to pro in one week, then go to summer camp, but if you just want to have a good time, ski big mountain, and have fun in  T-line and Medows parks, then go to Spring camp. I still talk to the other two skiers that were there with me.
