Hey Kiwis, with an 8 Day camp, you get 6 days on snow. The first and last day of the week are your arrival and departure days.

JFletcher, you'll have a rad at Hood dude and hopefully you come check us out some time in the future.

Trying to book my camp today.  Any final words from either side, or someone who is neutral?

i booked coc, i'd say a private park beats all, a t-bar is better than a rope tow, and no bus ride is the shit!
btw, i might not sound like i, but i am neutral

I think COC is the one im going with.  lack of a 45 min ride is sick, whistler im sure is sick, cabins aren't my favorite thing ever and they just got a ton of snow and ive heard they can get snow in may and june.

I went to mhssc last summer it was the best time of my life so much fun, campus and park can't compete with windells but i can guarantee it's just as much fun and the park is pretty quality i definetely recommend it plus 2 weeks at mhssc= 1 week at windells in terms of money

COC's jump setup looks so much better than windells.  The COC site shows me that COC is better.  better pics, videos, answers all my questions.  COC is my choice, unless someone can drastically change my mind.

COC's park just looks super ill.  The problem is that its $500 more.

Windells is $1596 and COC is $2089 with cancellation insurance ($150)

Is COC $500 better?  thats the new question.

If your looking to get good go to COC, even if you don't factor in the sick coaching the park is super porgressive! You can hit the small jumps or rails, learn your trick then step it up to medium then large and super large features. And everything is built beautifully, I liked that park better than any I rode all winter (including blackcombs highest level park). Plus there's guys tossing down everywhere which I find helps me progress alot. And once your off the slope theres tons of camp activities or fun shit to do in the village, spesh if your 19 ;)

Hey Kiwi,

You are forgetting that our rates (COC) are in Canadian dollars, not US dollars. So with the exchange rate from US to Canadian dollars, we're basically the same price as Windells.

Hope that helps dude!

well, i would just like to add that once i go to windells this summer i will have been at coc and windells so i can give my opinioin on which is "better" i dont think one is really better then the other, it ll depends on exactly what you are looking for in a camp.
