So I've seen a few posts on the forum about camps but nothing that current.
I'm thinking about attending an adult snowboard camp, I've done a lot of research and there's a lot of options out there which is making it tough to choose.
My current situation:
I'd say I'm a strong late intermediate rider for most things. I'm able to:
land basic straight airs on jumps with knuckles most of the time
ride and carve at very high speeds on groomers
ride switch on greens and easy blues
kinda have some fun on moguls
do sparse trees out west (trees in the east where I live are an accident waiting to happen for me)
The areas of riding I want to learn/improve on are
Riding trees (I'm still not great at making short quick turns, I also ride a 162CM board
Butter tricks (I can just kinda tail press)
Jumps, Grabs, Rotations and maybe even riding the pipe and getting inverted (although I'm 32 and feeling old)
The main thing I have little to no interest in is rails. Starting at my age seems like high risk low reward.
I've looked at all the camps I can find, HCSC, Windells, CoC, ProRide etc. The one that jumped out to me the most is Pro Ride as they have what looks like the most robust Freeride program (the others just seemed like they're doing park stuff on a glacier in the summer) However they also seem to have the least amount of reviews and info.
Has anyone done any of these camps and can speak to it first hand? Are there any others I'm missing? Any advice to someone in my shoes?
Thanks!
