so i cant afford to go to windells due to my lack of job this winter, thus, i am sacrificing my 18th bday to go to Placid and hit the water ramps. has anyone been there? whats the lodging like? were you comfy taking your tricks to snow? and finally, was it worth it?

I go every summer with the group Freestyle America. There are like 3 different lodging options but if you stay at the olympic training center it is the absoulute shit. Our sessions went like 1 hr and a half of tramping then and hour and a half of ramping, which we do once in the morning and once in the afternoon. Food is awsome and every1's super nice, the only negative is they dont just let you go and huck whatever you want. At the end of the week I have always learned alot and am more than satisfied.

I have been to Placid, and it's pretty sweet, but my advice would be to consider Ohio Dreams instead. You get water ramps that are shaped more like park jumps than the ones at Placid, if you skate or bike you can do that along with skiing, they are adding a full summer rail setup and Olympic tramps, and you can go for a full week all expenses paid for only $850.
