Kids who go to windells aren’t core, should be jibbing they’re daddy’s money on a dildo so they can ride it until he dies so they can use that to buy as many 189 Vishnu’s as they can
Kids who go to ski academies are even worse. Cool story bro that your parents would want to throw 40K a year down the drain just so you can ski carinthia everyday, and for you to end up not going to college just to be a burnout druggie and move to SLC and milk their money until you’re 24. Pricks.
Sounds like somebody's just salty they can't go to hood. Idk, i get it, I always wished my parents could afford to send me to one of those camps but it is what it is.
There are a ton of kods with ridiculous opportunities and parents $$ these days but their are also those kids that road a shitty mtn, with a shitty park, parents that didn't have much money, and they crush it.
Maybe just ski harder. Idk i get it, but being salty about it wont help you. Build a summer setup or something.

tbf half the kids I knew who went to ski academies got into ridiculously good colleges while the other half are burnouts. The ability to ski every day and get pretty much one on one teaching seems to result in one of two outcomes most of the time.
I didn't go to a ski academy but the people who waste air bitching about ski academy kids are as annoying as ski academy kids themselves. Seems like your qualms are with spoiled kids and not people who take advantage of opportunity. I know what I would've done if I was given the option to ditch public school.

I agree, I feel like it's not fair to shit on people for going to ski academies cuz it's not their fault their parents have money and can give them good opportunities. If I ever had the chance to go to a ski academy id take it. I think a lot of people who go to academies are aware of how fortunate they are, but there are also people who act like the fagans

It’s just annoying as fuck bc a lot of the kids are cocky about it.
that being said it’s honestly a waste of money if you live close to a good park. I live 40 mins from my hill and it has a rope park, for the past 3 seasons I’ve skied 5-6 days a week and most days out there I’m trying new stuff or trying to get better at what I’ve already done. Being out there almost every night of the week did wonders for my bag of tricks, consistency, and style, compared to where I was 4 years ago. That’s why I never saw the point of coaches, whether I’m riding alone or with a crew I’m always teaching myself new shit. Like it’s not rocket science lmao you don’t need a coach to learn how to sw tails 2 or toss 3 swaps.

you’re literally describing half of zootspace and child labor
keagan.karstensIsn’t it like $800 to ski at hood tho in the summer
$999 for a summer pass,
$1249 for a summer pass + Freestyle Training Center which allows you to attend the "private" summer terrain parks.
If you've got the means to do it a place to sleep, it's a blast up there in the summer, even if you're ballin' on a budget and hiking to poach some Palmer public park laps.

I went. Line TC week 2011. I was 15. Probably the greatest week of my entire life.
My parents and both sets of grandparents all split the cost. Like a 16th birthday present sort of thing. I had begged them for like two years every day. Like printed out marketing material and hid it around the house for them to randomly find kinda thing. Still cannot believe they caved and actually spent the money.
Still haven’t received a gift that nice and for how formative of an experience it was for me I probably never will. Obviously Windells Academy (Wyeast* or whatever it is now) itself is insanely expensive, but a lot of the kids that I met at the week session were pretty normal kids tbh. They or their family members had saved up a lot of money for them to be there and they were just absolutely beyond stoked. Never met a kid who was there and not incredibly stoked/honored to be there. (I’m sure people who worked/coached there could say differently lol) but still.
Lmao hell nah you are going to pick up tricks way quicker with a “coach” (however lame the name sounds) than just hiking a feature over and over again by yourself. I’m sure you’re much better after 4 years but I’d bet money that development would have been greater with someone coaching you along the way.
And the fact of the matter is that nowadays most universities don’t care if your transcript is from Wyeast (whatever the fuck that means) or some known public school in a large city. As long as the degree is from an accredited high school and you did well, that’s about all that matters to most schools. These kids are ruining college opportunities I’d say they are in a great place to start university as long as they actually do the high school course work while skiing.
But yeah I’m salty too I couldn’t ski every day of the year growing up

Get off your ass and get a job. If your 16 you can be a junior counselor at Woodward at Copper and get a free week at camp. You pay for one and get the second free. If they like you there's a chance you can get 2 free weeks which is an insanely good deal as that includes staying overnight and all meals included. Also as Gavin mentioned MHSSC which is affordable.
Also if anyone is interested in a Summer setup I have one in NH and you can have it for free. Drop in with astro turf but the top needs a little work; just needs the plywood replaced on the top of the drop in. You just need to pick it up.

I didn’t even know MHSSC was still a thing? Do they share the lanes with windells/tline now that it’s all one park?
my mom just told me 5 minutes ago that she wants to try to save up for me to go next summer. will it cancel out the not core if i can barely afford it and have 189 wets?

I have zero shame, come get me.
This for me, except at the liberty snowflex summer camp.
Never been to windells but I think the idea that going for one week is some insanely expensive sojourn is laughable. It's maximum $2,500? Shit I don't know about you but when I have kids and they are bugging the hell out of you that price sounds more and more reasonable.

Idk what it is now but def expensive, plus if you need to fly which most people do. But it's a cool thing. People get pretty good and learn a lot in that 1 week usually.
I could never afford it but it seemed sick af. Same with Woodward even. Looks sick I just couldn't do it. Still got to go to some cheaper summer camps and do normal summer camp shit.
Yeah kids go on 2k trips all the time. Pretty much any overseas trip racks up that much so if you ever traveled as a kid you’re doing the same thing lol. Hell, going to NYC for a week will run you more than that…

My family went on a 4 day trip to killington last year for 800$ including gas, passes, food and lodging. There’s ways to save on trips. But gosh a 2grand ski trip outwest would be so fun
That’s not the same lmao you live out there you’re not really “traveling” at that point. I’m talking about flying to big sky, Alta, Jackson hole, etc. and skiing for a week. Easily beating 2,500 if you have a family
WoFlowzMy family went on a 4 day trip to killington last year for 800$ including gas, passes, food and lodging. There’s ways to save on trips. But gosh a 2grand ski trip outwest would be so fun
When I went it was like $2k for the week and that included housing, food, skatepark access, transportation to the mountain, lift tickets, unlimited skatepark use, trampoline use, etc etc I mean honestly, thats probably how much a summer ski trip costs so I don't really see how its less core than shredding timberline, this sport is boujee asf its literally a rich people thing so anything expensive is "core" let's be honest lmfao
inb4 someone hits me with the "I live in vermont and my parents work at the mountain and...." like yeah thats true there are mad ski bums but I bet if u ask anyone at the mountain 50% of the time they're gonna say they own a second house by the mountain or a condo and the other 50% are usually college kids there for the weekend cuz the passes are cheap with their school discount. The rest of the people who live there are probably chilling on a tuesday shredding with no lines
Should mention I went once when I was 14 and that was like 8 years ago idk what the price is now

It’s 2500-3500 and it’s 3799 with access to the pipe
WoFlowzIt’s 2500-3500 and it’s 3799 with access to the pipe
Okay a bit more pricey for sure, damn. Still though seems kinda like any other summer vacation where you fly out somewhere and stay in a hotel for a week. 3799 for a week tho is insane what the hell happened
Quaggy$999 for a summer pass,

Damn that freestyle camp plus pass sounds like the best way to spend 1250.. one day
