So it's my first year and I feel I've learned quite a bit and I was thinking after next season I'd go to windells in the summer but it seems like everything is really big and the rais are difficult to hit atleast some of them and Ill be better next year but I'm not sure I'd be able to hit the big stuff their so is it a good camp for intermediate skiers?

The parts that you see in their videos are only the big features because the pros don't want to be hitting the small features. Also the camp wants to show how they have the biggest and best features. You would be fine in their more beginner area

Last year when I went they had the park kinda of split into 4 parts. The top was kind of fun with some fun small features then in the middle is where all the big features. After all the big features they had a 4 small roller setup which was actually quite fun! Then there was the small jump line which anyone could easily hit. Last year #1 was like 10-15 ft then 2nd was 20-25 when I went. When I was there I met many skiers who were just starting but really loved the sport. I even had someone who it was their first time park skiing. There is a variety of skiers and features there! That was the highlight of my summer I would recommend it to anyone who is interested.
See anyone there who is going 2nd session!

Big rails i picked up once i got comfortable hitting rails and got pressured enough. They just have more consequences.

It is really for everyone. They do specialize in bigger or more difficult features tho. If you can ride DFD or kinks and can spin 2s off you'll be better than like 50% of the people. Either way, you'll have fun and there will be something there for you. Just don't limit yourself, do something you would never have tried. Set a goal or a couple for each day on snow and you will achieve a lot

It's not really the height or length it's just the features are difficult, have you seen the ad wheat the guy does a 4 or something over a fence onto a rail, like that's what I mean when I say "big rails"

Okay thanks, I have next season to get better at hitting more difficult rail features and hopefully I'll make a summer setup this summer to try and learn swap/spin combos down.

If you see a mellow kink and you have never hit one, don't back down, the worst thing is you fall on your hit, but you will probably just slip off. Try something new. It's what you are there for. Get out of your comfort zone. Feed off of other people.
