I did usasa slope for the first time this season and qualified for nationals at Copper, but I don't know if I should spend the cash to travel to CO and compete or use it for a summer camp instead. Has anyone been to nationals and could tell me if its worth the trip? And I've never been to a camp either so is just a weeks worth of training really worth the money? +k yall

Camp, learn as much as you can and for free flow next year. USASA Nationals won't do anything for you.

Im 19 so I'm just into the 19 and over division unfortunately, I wish I was a year younger cause the competition level is so much higher in the 15-18 haha

That's what I was kinda thinking, especially cause Im not doing open class. Plus Woodward Tahoe opened up right where I live sooooo, that'd be kinda sweet to have no travel costs

usasa nationals is a wad show. been the last 4 or 5 years coaching and it kind of blows. it looks fun if youre 11-15. but really the slope course usually sucks, theres so many kids there the lines suck and you barely get any practice on the course. its expensive as shit too. I would definitely just save my money and go to a summer camp. way more fun and worth your time.
