Camp/coach options

This year I for sure can't go to a camp except maybe a water ramp one in lake placid but I was given the options of getting a coach for the next few winters (how do I find them/ how would it likely cost?), going out west next summer for one of those summer camps. Or going to liberty snowflex center next summer. What would be the best option in terms of progression?

I went to COC last year and it was so dope and I progressed heaps, but it's the kind of thing that's great if you've got 3 or 4 tricks in mind and have worked on them on tramp beforehand etc to make the best use of your time, but if you're looking more for just overall progression across a season I'd say go for a coach probably

So you can either
a.) Get a coach for the next few winters

b.) Go to a summer camp next summer

c.) go to liberty this summmer

?

If i were you, i would go with the coach. Sure you're not spending a week in hood or whistler in the summer but you'll be learning stuff all winter long and you'll be able to become confident in your own skiing..hopefully leading to natural progression.

If you're talking Lake Placid, I'm operating under the assumption that you live on the East Coast, but I think our facility and our Next Level Summer Camps offer you the greatest opportunity for progressing in the off season. Our facility is CHEAP, we're talking $5-7 a hour. However, the best way to progress with us over the Summer is through our camps. We pair great features with great coaching, and unlike a water jump you'll actually get some practice landing new tricks. Campers use the airbag for free too, so like a water jump you'll be able to try new things with low to no consequence.

I can attest to this. Last summer was rad and you learn a lot. They bring in some really rad coaches for the camp and the vibes are awesome. Definitely something to consider.

To clarify, you're asking if we think you should get a coach (as in join a club?) or going to a camp out west?

If it were me, I'd go for a club. Having consistent local access to coaching outweighs the benefits of a one week camp.

Don't get a coach, spend money on going skiing cool places.

I go to Waterville Valley in the summer. They have a BagJump, rail setup, and trampolines. It costs around 40-$50 a day.
