I have the oppertunity to go to a camp next year and I knew about Windells and was really into it but then I found out about Momentum.  Opinions on which is better?

Actually, "Dude", if you wanna talk about having facts wrong...

Momentum has 5 lanes, ONE of which is the mogul lane on skiers right of showcase tbar, then 3 lanes of park on the skiers left of showcase, and also the old high north lane with the big stepover. That's 4 lanes of park, one moguls.

You should know this by now, especially since you've been corrected on it before, and also we would assume that you actually have been to the glacier?

The only time Momentum has two lanes of moguls is during their adult mogul camps, which are after the kids camps are finished.

Quit spreading false information, it's not like you don't know these facts, so why are you trying to mislead people?

Hey Tokeman,

What year did you come to camp and did you report any of the stolen items to anyone at the dorm office?

I'm there everyday and have dealt with the occasional theft, most of which gets recovered if reported quickly. Out of almost 900 campers at camp this summer, there were only three incidents of theft, one of which involved two campers having the same camp bag and one camper mistoook the other campers bag for their's.

In regards to hiking, I never hike and always use the t-bar with no issues. The line can get long at times, like when Momentum goes for lunch and uses our t-bar to access their lunch, but I just ate lunch at the same time to avoid that.

If your over eighteen deffiently Windells! I just came back and stayed in the adult house which is across the street from the camp. You can pretty much do whatever you want. We went out for sushi in Portland, played private games of paintball and had sick night sessions in the indoor park when everyone else had to go to sleep. Plus you can buy your own food instead of waiting in line and can do anything at the adult house!

There are a few of us here at the offifce that post on here, so it's possible you may have corrected someone on that before, but not me. Ether way I apologize for the error, but my point remains the same. Momentum has a smaller park shared with mogul lanes, we have a larger park with a half pipe, but no moguls. I'm not attempting to diss Momentum, it's simply the difference between their on snow experience and ours. We're pure park and pipe, they're park and moguls.

've been on the glacier nearly every day it's open since the summer of 1998. However it's been a few years since I've been in the Momentum park, actually the last time I skied their park they were still called SMS Camp, I only ski our park now, so I go by what I see. I guess if their last session had two mogul lanes, thats why I thought they had two lanes of moguls all summer.

No biggie, just an honest mistake, so please don't send a lynch mob after me!

Fuck you,

I will never go to one of your camps EVER again. I would rather coach at Windells than even be on area at you camp.

Your ridiculously over cocky attitude is pretty much the last straw. Fuck you, fuck your employees, and fuck your camp.

For that matter if I wouldn't be coaching at summer camps I wouldn't be there. This was the last year for CoC and if I don't coach at Windells than for Windells as-well.

That is a lot of hate. You didn't coach for us, and I suggest taming the anger if you want to coach for anyone.

So, what if i wanna go ski in america somewhere during the summer, hood or whistler, with my friend who happens to snowboard. Can we go the same place and have fun together, or are all the camps specific ski or snowboard camps?

Hey McMuffin, we have both ski and snowboard at camp, so you could come with your friend who snowboards. We could room you together and you guys could chill together all week, you would just be in seperate coaching groups.

Hope that helps and we would be stoked to have you and your friend come ride with us.

The pipe is actually one of the most popular features in our park, and we're really hoping ski pipe gets into the 2014 Winter Olympics so it gets even more play. However if you don't ski pipe or prefer moguls, then I guess Momentum is the better camp for you.

Or, for the same price, you could come south to Argentina. We have 30 lifts and about 1000 lanes...

Two years back I was at a race camp on Horstman.  The COC pipe and park were a helluva lot of fun to poach.  So thanks for being there.  But seriously don't go to COC.  In Whistler Village we'd chill with the SMS/Momentum guys, but the COC swarms would roll through like locusts.  I can't speak for the adult camp, which I'm considering for next summer, but the kiddies really suck.
