Does the woodward program or any other program provide the goods for learning stuff? Or are internet tutorials just as good

I've never been, but I can only assume all of their facilities with crash pads, air bags, tramps, coaches that can critique you, etc would definitely be an advantage over watching some youtube videos.

yes, they have airbags, and other training facilities that make learning much less scary and really up your confidence. the biggest difference tho is that you can try your hardest to learn a trick from a vid, but having a professional critique your technique and point out what aspects you need to fix helps you learn tricks way faster and understanding the maneuver completely allows for much more consistency. if you are just in it to learn the trick, going to a place where their job is to teach tricks is the easiest way to learn for most people.

Along the lines of balls, I would think one of the big benefits to going to Woodward/insert another camp here* would be being on the hill with a group of skiers that are in the same boat as you learning new tricks and feeding off each other. You don't always get that vibe at the local park.
