Idk if this is the forum I should put this on but, I am ok at park skiing, I can do 369s a front flip and am ok on rails, this summer I want to go to a summer camp this year, and I am considering camp of champions or windells. I would like to progress and get better, which camp would be better, or if neither what camp? Help please!!

Don't worry about your skill level. The whole point of camp is progress, I think it even says on the windells site that something like 20% of their campers are brand new to skiing and 60% total is beginner park. Anywhere you go I'm sure that you would have fun and be put in the right group. I don't personally have any experiences with ski camp but from what I've heard, Windells is somewhat euperior to other camps. I'd suggest looking on their sites for the best info.

i think that a marketing thing to get kids that think they arent good enough to come. just my thought but ive never been so i wouldnt know. but look into woodward that what im thinking about doing this summer and it looks pretty fun. never been to a summer camp at woodward but ive been to the barn in the winter and its a blast

Both Camp of Champs as well as Windells are great and you'll have a lot of fun either way. The biggest difference is with Camp of Champs you live in the middle of Whistle Village, and have the freedom to do pretty much whatever you want when you're done skiing, while at Windells it's a more structured camp. Also, you have more time on the hill skiing at Camp of Champs at an (arguably) larger and better park. I wouldn't worry about your skill level at all.

I was looking at woodyard but you only get about 2 1/2 hours on the hill as windells you get like 4 and camp of champions u get 5 and at camp of champions their park gets groomed every night but they are also more expensive too

Id say 3 and then if you need to move up to 4, I'm sure you'll be able to.

If any skier hates on another skiers ability then they're a fucking douche. Hating on skiers who wish to progress is a cocky move only to better your own ego. There's a difference between hating on beginner park skiers and gapers as beginner park skiers know the rules and gapers don't
