Which of these is the best Ski camp for me, I've been to Windells, and it was alot of fun but I didnt learn as much as I wanted.  I know about the new rope tow, but i like hiking anyway.  Help!

coc has a better park than momentum but momentum has it's own lift, no line, and a way better learning atmosphere. coc is a way more intimidating place and alot of snowboarders, plus sharing 1 tbar between 3 camps and the public park means 45 minute lineups on a bad day. momentum gets my vote

Going to a camp doesnt necessarily mean you'll learn all you want. Its all up to you to progress. Sure it helps to have professional instruction, but in the end its all up to you.

All three camps are very good. People can argue which one is the BEST based on what each camp provides/has. I'm sure each camp has the features needed to progress your skiing.

Well I think Windells is basically full so you waited too long for that. Out of the rest I would suggest MHSSC or Momentum, depending whether you are in the US or Canada and money.

Momentum. You stay in the actual town and can walk anywhere. Also having their own rope tow makes for tou to have reallly fast laps throught the park. THe atmosphere which you are surronded in is great and pro coaches are so much fun to be taught by. also you dont have to deal with snowboarders

COC such a great place, if you want to learn the coaches will teach you. The park is amazing so much going on and they have an airbag this year which is epic. It also has tons to do after skiing so my vote is COC.

Hey Dude, We'd be stoked to have you come ski with us this summer. Contrary to some claims on here, we share a T-bar with other camps and the public, as does Momentum. Our t-bar is a little busier, because we are the biggest camp on the glacier and our side of the glaicer is larger, meaning it has a slightly higher volume of skiers and riders on it. Trust me, after one lap through pur park, you want to take a breather before the next lap!!

We do have snowboarders in our park, but there is no us vs. them rivalries here. We all share the park and have fun shredding together.

Hope to see you this summer, it's going to be epic!

go shred with finn anderson!!^

but MHSSC is where its at, nobody is there earlier in the summer, so no intimidation. you can go two weeks for the same price as one and maybe even three if you worked staff, so lots of room for improvement.

This is the best thing said in this thread so far. Momentum has a really good learning atmosphere and it's own private T-Bar, so no line-ups. I went last summer and the longest line-up I ran into was probably 10 minutes, and that was right at the start of the day so all the groups had just rushed to the lift. That said, COC has a SICK park, but 45 minute line-ups on the average so you're stuck hiking most of the day. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing if you're only doing rails. Anywhere you go, you are going to have fun.

Hey Frodo,

Momentum actually does not have a private t-bar, it's shared by other camps and also by the public as well. It just gets less traffic than ours.

Also an average 45 min wait to not correct, I know, I've timed it. You might see a 45 minute wait at the end of the day on a Sat or Sun, when all the camps are off loading the glacer. So no mater what camp you go to, you will ave to wait in that long line as the Horstman t-bar is the only way off the glacier.
