i just wanted to get a rough idea of how the ability level of campers is split up.  A lot of people killing it and just a few beginners or alot of middle people?  Like whats probably the most common trick being learned by the campers?

I went there 2 years ago, and all the skiiers were in one group and were all decent, some better than others but everyone was hitting the same stuff, except for like 2 much younger kids but they still rode with us

people who have never hit a rail before to people who destroy the park. you will have an awesome time and learn a ton as long as you are willing to try new things

as everybody said it is very varied but there are usually some beginners the majority of people as intermediates and a few kids crushing it. Depending on the session kids are split up in as many as 3 groups or sometimes there is only one group either way you will have fun and learn alot if you try alot of stuff. Another huge benefit is the park is 1/10th as crowded as windells overall a great camp i definetely recommend going there

I was there this summer and my friend and I were the only two campers (besides the staff) that would hit the bigger jumps, but I am sure that other weeks had kids that slay hard.

Go earlllllyyyy you couldnt ski to the bottom or the chair by the end of july this year so go as early as you can to get the best snow.

well the chair services the public park so you will probably ski that a lot but the MHSSC park is all hiking.

i think there were 3 groups when i went. a group of kids who slayed and were doing rodeos and big spins off the big jumps. the average kids, which i was a part of, and the newbs. basically it's just going and skiing. i mean it's not like there's class or anything. you pretty much just ski around and if you wanna learn something you just ask one of the pros.

No, if you are going to a session earlier in the summer. depending on what your group decides, malone or nolan will usually take the groups through the MHSSC park straight into the public park and take the chair. u only hike if you want to in MHSSC's park, but untill snow melts at the bottom, mid to late july is when u have to start hiking.

i went to the race camp but the majority of kids i saw seemed to be in the more beginner-intermediate range, the kids who threw down were in their own group but everything was split up pretty well

kids are lovin learnin how to do front flips. some kids are learnin cork 9's, some 360's or just how to slide a rail. so its really all level friendly. the environment isnt like windells where people are ther tryin to impress. if you wanna learn lower level tricks, the coaches will help you getum done if you are willing to throw it.

The earliest I could probably go would be June 27th-July 3rd but I want to go for two sessions and I kind of want to be home for the 4th of July, would going much later (11th-24th) be too mushy? Actually hold the phone. I'm thinking in terms of Momentum. MHSSC is in the US of A. So I could celebrate there. And that's better than missing my dad's birthday.

/thinking out loud

Should I go June 27-July 10 or July 11-24?

mushy* isnt the right term, just less snow to be able to lap the parks using the chair.
You dont gotta be at home for the 4th.. spend it at HOOD. go earlier.

the weather can be diff every month, once it snowed a foot in july. but mostly it will be cold over night, so hard snow in the mornings, then softenns up nicely for park. Thats why freestyle kids go up like an hour or 2 later than the racing kids. Then come back to campus later also.

we take all the kids up on monday and ski together Me, Nolan, and Sean or whoever else is coaching all ski with you guys and determine how to split up the groups, unless there is only a few kids you'll be skiing with kids that are on your level. You'll get hyphy gillin good if come to camp... do it.
