Sure thing, I am up for lots of both! If you have the time and are so inclined, we can take the short (but steep) climb up to Crater Rock where the volcanic vents are and have a kick ass 4,000 vertical foot ride back to Timberline`s parking lot, where the ice cold beer awaits!
Also check out Windells. Both programs are excellent, but it is my opinion that the adult program offered by Windells is a bit more adult geared. For one thing, HCSC uses the Cascade Ski Lodge in Government Camp and it is a dorm style sleeping arrangement like a hostel. I am not positive, but I think you will be living and sleeping in the same lodge as the kids. The locals in Government Camp get a kind of attitude about "campers" and sometimes they snub you; Much of this has to do with how the younger kids have acted in town over the years. Windells has it`s own "compound" down off the mountain in Welches, Or and in the adult program you are totally seperate from the kids. I Have several fellow instructor coworkers who have worked both camps and they all favor Windells. The Windells adult program also tends to have more adult off mountain activities as well. For doing your own thing, it is nice because you are down off the mountain and it is a quicker drive into downtown Portland to hit the clubs and take in the city scenes if you are so inclines. Portland has a lot of culture and there is always something to do at night.
Like I said, either camp is outstanding and will be a lot of fun and you will learn a lot from their dedicated coaches, but when I was thinking about going, I found myself liking Windells program better. I instead, got a job at Meadows and can clinic with the regions best coaches as much as I can stand for free.
