Thinking about heading to momentum

So I live on the east coast and this season has been far from normal and we have gotten about a foot of annual snowfall, and the temps are going into the 40s for the next few days. That being said we had record snowfall last year so shit happens. But the west coast on the other hand seems like they are doing okay and I really love whistler i went for the first time last year which was their worst year I'm pretty sure occurring to the locals and I absolutely loved it regardless of snowfall. Momentum seems like a really awesome summer camp to go to due to the exchange rates and that it is in whistler, my favorite place on earth. I looked into going to windells but I just think momentum is calling my name. Just wanted to know a little about it and what to expect, how good are the majority of kids that go there? Also I heard The glacier suffered pretty badly last year because of the lack of snow, what is it looking like will happen this year, good, bad, okay?

Unbelievable time. If its not a massive strain on your wallet or your parents pay for it highly recommend it. If I wasn't saving for a S. America trip this summer or next I would be all over whistler this summer so fast.

They have some awesome skiing up there in the summer especially after the crazy snow year they are having this year.

K chill out with the bumps. There is hundreds of threads about this haha. I went three times 15,16 and 17. Best summers of my life. You'll have the most fun you can even think of. And your confidence on big jumps will be unreal. I can honestly say since momentum there hasn't been a jump that scares me to hit.

Don't worry... I'll be there. I had the same thought process as you and now I'm working my ass off to pay for it. Good times ahead.

Some of the best summers of my life at High North Ski Camp.

Granted I didn't pay for any of it but it was sooo much fun. Ridiculous experience if you love skiing. Long term the money won't be a big deal. A few thousand now may seem like a lot but in 20 years you'll look back and be glad you did it

Well they always have the huge one (60-70feet) then they usually have a two-jump line (30-35 , 35-40) they also have some smaller stuff (10-15 range)

Anybody still looking to get up to a ski camp at Whistler this Summer? I'm looking to make a change, and I can save someone a few bucks if they still want to go. Hit me up.
