A five-day camp with all forms of snowboarding at its disposal!
Fun is the main priority and the ultimate goal…
Scoring that bluebird powder day and expressing yourself with your friends in this amazing environment can really stoke you out, I think we can all agree that for snowboarders this is the Holy Grail.
But let’s be honest, we can’t expect them everyday and we’d all be a dribbling mess if they did.
Preparation for those days is key and the in-between days can be some of the most rewarding and fun of whole the season. This is when you learn something new, experience different types of snow or put effort in to reach new terrain.
This sport is as much about adaptability as anything else, right? We are always adapting to the weather and the conditions, it really is the mountain that decides these things.
Bigger groups may be split between morning and afternoon, especially if there is a difference in people’s level or if they have different focuses. Eg some people are early birds and want the groomers and fresh snow or a training sessions whereas some people might want to take it easy in the morning and just hit the slushy jumps in the afternoon and take some video. Some people might want to do both morning and afternoon.
Whatever it is we will make an advised, group decision depending on the conditions and how people feel it.
Examples of some different days on the camp:
Day 1: It’s sunny and warm, let’s enjoy the piste, do some jumps, boardercross races and learn some new skills. We can do some video analysis to improve your riding (or specific freestyle moves).
Day 2: It’s bad weather, maybe it’s time to try some little boxes, improve your switch or do some avalanche training until it clears up…
Day 3: There’s powder in resort, let’s get up there early and ride the lifts then after lunch maybe do some little jumps into the soft stuff in the afternoon. Guidance provided!
Day 4: It’s smooth as butter on the piste, it’s carving and flat land time. Filmed practice using those edges and board shape correctly for a fast but easy ride.
Day 5: ROAD TRIP!! Cruising time…
Do you find yourself becoming a picky snowboarder, only happy with perfect runs in perfect weather and perfect snow?
It’s something that most riders suffer from from time to time but we’re here to help!
Don’t be at the mercy of the fickle conditions, there’s always fun to be had.
We can make the most of whatever the weather throws at us, especially if we’re all in it together.
Let’s try not to pigeonhole the different aspects of snowboarding, it’s all just one sliding scale anyway!
This course is about learning to accept, adapt and get creative to enjoy riding every time- take control of your own enjoyment.
Sound good?
*Precedence is always given to powder
Entertaining the pro riders, reps and staff from Volcom in 2019 inspired this particular course. Responding to conditions, seeking fun for the whole group and keeping everyone safe!
