Hey im Ian, a 16 year old free skier from Madison Wisconsin. I have been skiing since I was two. And seriously started skiing park in the last couple years. I'm intermediate so I can do medium rails and flips and some upside down rotations. I have never been to Colorado,mt hood, or Canada. The closest I can get to summer skiing is putting water on my home made drop in and trying to get enough speed to hit a rail in my backyard. I have been saving up by working a ton so I can go. By the end of the year I will have a little over 800$ of my money and i want to spend it to go to a camp. My parents are willing to double my amount + a little more. I would prefer to have some money left over and I have done research on most camps. Im looking at Momentum,windells,MHSSC, and maybe next level summer camp snowflex. If you could give me your honest opinion that would be great! Any feedback would be great.

Ian,

Take the 800 and invest it in the Russian Ruble. Trust me, its about to make a huge comeback. Wait 5 years, cash out and boom you take that $100-billion+ and buy the Mt. Hood National Forest from the U.S. Government, kick everybody out and ski Mt. Hood by yourself.

MHSSC. Best coaching, best food, chiller people, etc. Save the rest of that money for skis or something, or save up a little more and go for two weeks.

I'll consider that, Id rather spend it to ski but Russian Rumble is bound to take off you should invest in SEAGATE TECHNOLOGY PLC trust me its about to sky rocket. (Now post related posts please)

MHSSC for the cheapest longest stay....


But Windells kinda is the powerhouse over MHSSC.

If you don't mind hiking and limited extra activities MHSSC for sure.

Ive been to COC for two years now and I really enjoy it. You can be on the hill from 8:30 to 3:00. Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner is provided although you can eat anywhere you want is the Whistler village. The pros are really sick and they bring a bunch of prizes to give away from there sponsors. When your not riding you can go to a tramp park called BOUNCE, go to the skatepark, go to the lake, hangout in Whistler village, golf, hang with pros, go see a movie, chill in the hot tub and they also provide a bungee jump from Whistler Bungee for free once in the week. There are literally so many more things that you can do after riding. We stay in the Holiday inn in the village which is nice cause its really central and close to the lifts. I also really like the freedom that they give us. Overall great camp and I really recommend it.

Also the coaching is great, I've learned so many tricks from COC. You do not need any park experience to go but they do recommend that you are a decent all mountain skier.
