11pm last night.

got any pretty tricks?

damn.. customer service needs a smile. why is it so hard to do some weeding there?

your name is printed on the lift ticket. it's funny why is boulder the only talked about for poaching. Who is skiing for free at the other hills?

first hand experience?

hhahhaa.... ah yep! good catch

So justin, you haven't ever been to a camp before, have you? Most kids that I know that have been to camp, if you give them a choice. They will choose a week on the glacier in the summer over a week anywhere else. Tough decision on paper unless you have experienced both extensively in person.

I'll hook you up with tickets to Boulder maybe have you go along to a comp or two this season. I don't have much current of my son and Boulder is looking perfect for some really good shots.

yes and they chill both the air and water before pumping it.

gotta love the lurkers. funny

It is expensive, no doubt. but by paying for it now will make the experience that much sweeter then. This is a forum that you will want to visit when the time gets closer. It is dead right now. Camp of Champions Forum

Word.... they are expert jumps and there are plenty of experts riding at Boulder now. Follow-ins are the way to go. Boulders jumps are or have been that you have to hit them hard to clear them. You have to pop off them.

All summer camps are good. Chances are, that if you go once, you will return another time. In my Opinion..............Summer Park Camps are more about the experience than they are about coaching and skills progression. The coaches at COC in my opinion, are more celebrities than they are trained instructors. If you are adamant about going to a summer camp to learn, then I would make it very clear to your coach on the day you arrive of what tricks you want to learn, then stay on his ass if you feel you are not getting attention. Matt Sterbenz will likely be your coach. Start with a list of goals or tricks that you want to learn this season, then make a new list for camp. My son has gone to COC for 3 years now and will be there under the pro camp program next summer. he can be a good teacher when he isn't distracted. I know he is always looking for people to ride and film with. He would be stoked to know that you are from "home". Go to a summer park program for the overall experience of having fun first, go to learn new skills second. Momentum is the camp that has the best reputation for instruction, for the park. But that is second hand info. COC is the biggest and the best and the most expensive, they have doubled the amount of terrain in just 3 years and are continuing to grow. It won't surprise me if they run the whole glacier in the years to come..

hmmmm.. funny cause I heard from the skilled kids that the jumps were awesome. that they finally had some steep landings. it must be a rider vs skier thing..

Been to both many times, never noticed.

Maybe I don't pay attention, but what other mountain has rangers beside CB?

pics or it didn't happen

I hear a lot of good things about them, intuition liners too? Damn they look like they have a lot of forward lean for a freestyle boot.???

wonder how they are going to adddress terrain parks.

ask and ye shall recieve! Bode Podiums while drunk.

It was extremely sketchy, you had to be sling shotted and then kick and pole like a mad man to get up on the rail. I told nips just pretend like it is one of those sketchy urban set up you are always begging me to take you to. He said at first no way... I said well forget me taking you to any urban crap then. But yeah once a few kids sacked up, the rest of the kids strong enough did it. Nips pretzeled the dam thing and didn't place.... snowboarding judges.

We went to snowshoe last weekend, the fog lifted after the Big air comp on sunday and everyone had a great time. Conditions were spring like and perfect for learning new tricks. This video is from Latitude 39 - Nips and his friends from Ohio dominated the comp which comprised of Slopestyle, Rail Jam, Big Air. Snowshoe King of the Mountain
