Im an intermediate park skier who is okay at rails but needs to improve on jumps. What camp would be best for me, I want to spend my hard earned money on the best one possible. I live in AK and the parks here suck, so i would really like to improve on my park game so next time I go to PC I can hit up King's Crown and pick n shovel confidently. Thanks.

I'm kinda the opposite of you because I'm comfortable on jumps but my rail game is a D+ (if even that). I chose COC because it seemed to accommodate for all levels, plus they're making their park bigger this year which is dope.

It depends on if you really need to LEARN the tricks or if you feel like you just need to balls up and do it. Windells forsure if you just need to balls up and do it because there is just so much enouragement from everyone.

Windells is getting on campus dry slope with a bagjump so you can ski after you ski.

from experience COC is awesome and i would really recommend it but it is a bit annoying with all the snowboarders but its still pretty chill. i think that as you are quite a long way anyways id try windells

Momentum! Chill atmosphere to learn and great coaches. Plus, the terrain set up has a nice progression of rails and jumps for quick hot laps.

Mount Hood Summer Ski Camps (MHSSC)
is the best environment when in your stance.
No pressure to be showin off. Peeps are throwin down in our park, and learnin a shitton. Coaches are real and know how to teach. The park last summer had the best tables, windells pros would come to MHSSC's park on their days off to film on our jumps. Usually 20, 30, 50 footers.
So if your looking to watch pros ski, and be nervous in the park, paying twice as much, go to windells.

I am a counselor at MHSSC and I was a camper at one point too. I shred our park all summer and it is a sick.

Here in this thread is everything you would want to know, from housing, to activities, to biddies, with alot of opinions from newschoolers who have actually been to it.

this guy is a counselor there. he is chill. a lot like a lot of people you will find there. it is cheaper and focused almost entirely on skiing. no frills but you get a lot of on snow time and actual good coaching for your needs

Okay thanks everybody, i'm now seriously considering going to MHSSC. What are the main differences between it and Windells, besides off slope stuff, I know Windells has more going for it in that category, but i'm mainly just wanting to ski and improve my jump game and learn advanced rail stuff, like pretzels and the like.
