Is it worth it for me to go to MHSSC, if I'm a beginner in the park. I can do 180's and like penciled out 3's, I really want to get better. But is it worth it or should I just wait one more year get better and then go. I'm a sophomore also if that has any impact. Thanks for the help.

When I was there, there were a lot of people who were just learning and stuff. If you go you will certainly progress. It is all about what you put it in.

I think it's still worth it. I was in a similar position my first year there and I definitely got better. Malone, Willard, Decker and Maks will teach you literally anything you want to learn.

our park is perfect for beginners. this week and last week we had kids on the small jump line practicing 180s, 360s 540s. We have flat boxs and a flat bar that is perfect for starting out. You get out of it what you put in some come kikit and get coached and shred.

From the videos it looks like a majority of the kids that go there are just getting into freestyle and still learning basic stuff. If you can go why wouldnt you. No matter how good you are its gonna be fun.

No matter what camp or what skill level you are, if you really love skiing then it will be worth it because you will be having fun every day!
