Hey, does anybody know of any really good skiing camps besides Windell's and COC? How much do they cost? I want to find a good ski camp that costs a little less than most.

Living on the east coast I have weighed all my options, they all are relativly the same price once the currency conversions are made. only thing is with coc and momentum you have the extra money for internation flights, about 700 more dollars, so Windells is the cheapest option for me.

What camps have you all gone to? If it wasn't COC or Windells, was it legit or not worth it?

Mt. Hood Summer Ski Camps all the way. They've got a dope freeskiing program that's small, but everyone's together and gets really tight by the end of the sesh. The coaches Malone, Nolan, and Decker are awesome coaches who know their shit, will actually teach you what you want to learn, and are all around good guys to ride with. The camp's only like 1000 a sesh, which is a couple hundred cheaper from Windell's at least and, unlike Windells, it's not a pro-show and literally every single one of the kids there is super chill. I've made literally tons of friends there over the past two summers and still keep in touch and ride all the time. This year, I'm 18 so I'm probably going to head back and either work or just camp out at Trillium Lake and ride on my own, but I definitely recommend that camp 100 percent.

I am almost positive that you don't have to be 18...I read on the site that there is an adult only sesh or adults can just go during the everybody seshs.

That is cool. I really have liked the look of COC for a year or two but it is just so expensive...

Hey, I`m a staff member and former camper of the Dave Murray Whistler Summer Ski Camp. Our camp costs $2195 Canadian dollars. If you live in the states, it actually only costs $1834 US which is cheaper than COC. When i went to this camp, i LOVED it. That`s why I`m part of their staff. The price includes food, hotel accomodation, activities (like mountain biking, paintball, wakeboarding etc.) We also use whistler`s water ramp. If you want to check out our site, it`s www.skiandsnowboard.com

Why the fuck do you need a camp??? Majority of pros never had coaches and learned their shit on their own.  Get some balls and explore the world outside the box> Don't be the next TOOL!

Not really now is it? It's sick don't get me wrong, but 68euros a day lift pass which doesn't include any coaching, then you have to get there from the airport/drive, pay for somewhere to stay/camp out, pay to eat and cook and live. You don't get the advantages of a camp like tramps, water ramps and activities/free swag.
On top of this I am guessing that the kid here is younger than 16/17 so the likelyhood of Europe being a practical suggestion is foolish.
Europe Summer skiing is pricey as fuck.

We also offer dinner with our camp package, so its very full service.   What you see is what you get... plus the Canadian dollar is going down every day.  :)

Did I mention we'll buy you NS gear if you mention newschoolers when you sign up?

Woodward at Copper is currently the least expensive summer camp option right now with our $200 discount. Check out www.woodwardatcopper.com for all fo the details on that.

Our summer park setup is going to be fully legit this year. We have tons of snow, wait till you guys see some of the footage from the Level 1 shoot going on right now. The jump is 100 feet from takeoff to landing. Super sick. We also had the crew in the barn last night sessioning everything. Keep your eyes peeled for a Level 1 Woodward edit.
