Saving up to go to windells next summer, help me do it up big

Whats the best session? Don't care about pros there

Best skis to take? In my quiver now are AIDs ridden Line stepups, Herpe filled Volkl Bridges, and newborn Surface Green lifes

Does the coaching help?

How crowded does it get? Am I gonna be snaked all day long

Any hidden tricks and tips you've learned?

Bring two pairs of skis? For dry slope shit

Help a brother out

The dry slope is the best part..... I found myself not even going up to hood. I was able to get so many laps in with the variety of rails they have for it and also it felt so good considering m-snow is safer and way softer than snow.

For sure. The only downsize to msnow is the price. I bought some for my setup but ended up using it all on my bed and for a carpet in my room. Waiting till next year to get Christmas money and buy more. Scared I'll end u making it into a pillow though.

Session 5 is the best.

Bring one pair of skis that aren't brand new.

The coaching does help.

It's not as crowded as you would think, a lot of the campers suck and only ski the tiny jumps/boxes.

The coaching does help.

Bring a lot of ski socks and a portable boot dryer if you have one, your boots will get soaked.

2-4 are the best usually you can do full laps without taking your skis off until about session 4.

all the coaches will help you if you just ask.

you can wax your skis at the camp, no ptex though.

Session 3 4 or 5 is best, snow is perfect and weather is nice. Bring 1 pair, you can demo skis on the hill from the demo shop. Coaches will help and are usually really chill.

As long as its a ski/snowboard only week the camp wont be crowded and you wont get snaked unless youre just standing around nervously.

Have fun I might try to get out one more time before high school is over.

Not going to try and sway your decision so I'll just leave a little blurb...but if you don't care about the pros, want more dedicated coaching, and don't want to have to tap into your life savings, lookinto MHSSC. (mthood.com)

Take the volkls. The base on the green lifes is slower than stephan hawking in a marathon

Thanks guys. What's the deal on the demo skis? Do you have to pay for those? And then is there an option to buy them?
ALso I probably wouldn't take any of the skis I have now for none are really park specific/or buttery all mtn skis.
My volkls are missing base material and an edge underfoot, and they're also on their third mount

No demoing is free, from what I remember they usually have the next seasons models and you can demo boots as well. No you cant buy them haha.
