So just so base research really.

Would there be interest from kids to come to Australia over places like Momentum or Windells?

Everyone has seen a edit from Perisher over the few years, and Thredbo has a pretty rad park and a really fun resorts out of the parks.
The lifestyle in Aus is really sweet. Living on a big lake with a rad skate park and it's pretty warm in town year round

We would look at doing 3 or 4 week camps, including airport transfers, accom, skiing, coaching, weekly trips to go do stuff like surf, see cool Australian stuff with full time supervision all parents would have to do I stick kids on a flight.

No idea On pricing as yet but I think the product could be really sick, I guess think of it as windells in Winter in Australia.

Im sure id be dope, but Im sure parents would prefer to take a much cheaper flight to Windells/coc and kids prefer to be coached by "famous" pros rather than paying a shiton to be all the way across the world...ANd forget about europeans, that's even further away...

I think this could def work. I feel like a lot of the kids that go to North American camps have fairly substantial financial backing, so Aus shouldn't be too expensive. You should sell it on the fact that you will get to ride winter conditions, and on the cultural experience. Rich parents go mental for that shit.

You'll really have to be conscious of cost vs. the North American camps. Flights to AUS are going to be your biggest hurdle, as it'll be hard to add accom/etc on top of that and still make it worth it.

Look at your exchange rate too though. If AUD is worth a lot less than USD you might get lucky.
