sooo my dad said if i can cough up enough money he would pay for my plane ticket and let me go to Windell's! i just have a few questions.

-what is the whole camp vibe like?

-did any of you actually progress and get better? and how is the coaching?

-what are the other campers like? are there lots of sagafulltilt douchebags who make fun of other skiers based on ability? (i'll most likely end up going by myself, so will i make friends pretty easily?)

i really want to go but i also want to make sure i'm not wasting my money. so +k to gooood answers

GO


seriously, highlight of my life so far.

And don't worry about "progressing" you're not training for the olympics, go to have fun, something that is all to easy at windells.

everyone is stoked and having a good time at windells, its an amazing vibe. and yes you definitely will get better if you push yourself, just be reasonable. the second time i went i broke my collarbone the second to last day and there is like almost nothing to do if your hurt at windells. the coaching is top notch, but you have to be proactive and ask for specific trick advice. and theres all kinds of skiers there and everyone is just trying to get better, nobody makes fun of each other based on ability, at least in my experience.

windells is amazing! like everywhere, there will be some dicks, but for the most part, everyone is just there to have fun. You shouldn't have a hard time making friends with the kids in your cabin/ ski group. I've gone two summers (yea im rich), and my experience with coaches has been great. I wouldn't be worried about anything... go and have fun!

It's fucking awesome there. Everyone is trying to learn shit and everyone is willing to help out even if they aren't your coach. Shea Flynn was teaching me 2s on when he was just cruising around

Haven't been to Windell's but I went to MHSSC for half the price and it was great. You will definitly get your moneys worth if you go to Windells to probably. Anywhere in Hood over the summer is great.

I can second this. minus the broken collar bone. But i've also done that so you should probably take this advice.

Can you still shred the pub park if you go to Mhssc; can you hit both in one lap? And I went to Windells and loved it. My coach and group were way cool. My group pretty much became my friends of the mtn as well and we supported each other and pushed each other on everything. It was awesome.

the amount of cum gargling ignorant pre-teens that you will encounter is unbearable and they will certainly judge you based off skill. other than having to deal with these fuckers windells was a great time and i would certainly return. the campus is dope and the park is even more doper, alot of the coaches will leave the group and take laps with friends if they are assigned to a group that cant throw down as hard, but you will certainly progress if you work for it. i say go, just be prepared and have your mind ready to tolerate the cock suckers that piss their pants for some saga gear (literally) and wear the same deep v tanktop and gold chain everyday.

You will literally get none of this if you go to mhssc, going there as a camper for two summers and working this past summer, I can say, without a doubt, that mhssc is my favorite place in the world. True, there isn't any hand holding, true there arn't a million screaming rich kids, and true that the coaches there arnt the best pros in the world, but i will say that Nolan, maks, and Shea and(Malone) are THE best coaches on hood. I'll finish when I can get to a computer. Ns mobile sucks

Oh and you can go directly from the mhssc park to the Pubby park. Infact, mhssc park I'd directly On top of the public park, this summer I hit the three biggest jumps on hood, directly into the Pubby 7 jump line. LET THE STATEMENT STAND!!' any camp you go to will be the time of your life, there is no doubt. But the ammount you can progress in two weeks as MHSSC versus only 6 days at windells, for the same price, is gargantuan

Two weeks versus 1 for the same price. I don't see how that isnt making a huge impact. I mean, windells does have a very commercialized feel, so I can see how it is tempting. In the summer of 2010, I actually wanted to go to windells, just cause ther is more "stuff". But under the bare bones of it all, I went to ski, not to win free stuff, and in those two weeks in 2010, I went from only 360s to rodeo 5s, so the coaching at mhssc is definitely sub par because it is a more price point camp

right on. I see where you are going. But i'm want to go to Windell's because it seems like it has that "real" summer camp experience if you know what i mean. Of course I'm going to progress my skiing and have fun skiing on hood, but it's the "summer camp" vibes that really pull me in.

Trust me, mhssc is a TRUE camp experience vs what looks like a more "manufactured and shiny" camp experience.

The friends I made at camp are some of my best friends in the world.

It's not like you don't do "campy" things at mhssc...

Oh did I mention that there is a FREE soda fountain in the lodge?

Go wherever you want, but this was my experience with MHSSC...

Went for one week two years in a row for the first summer sessions, all the other schools were still in session but all the high schools around me got out earlier so the entire camp was literally just me and my friends from about 4 different high schools. WAY. TO. MUCH. FUN.
