Momentum Ski Camps Update
With over 32 feet of snow this winter, summer ski conditions in Whistler will be amazing again this year….
If you haven’t yet signed up for camp, we still have space available.
Check out our web site for full details and on-line registration.
New Expanded Terrain
An extra bonus for us this summer is that we have been able to add two new lanes (total 5 lanes) to our overall terrain, plus we will have access to a fully maintained Halfpipe. TJ Schiller will be designing the layout of the new lanes (previously High North terrain). Check our website for detailed terrain info.
Expanded Coaching Lineup
Terrain is important, but our greatest strength will always be our coaches.
On the Freeride side Trennon Paynter heads up the team again, which includes returning superstars Sarah Burke, Rory Bushfield, TJ Schiller, Mike Riddle, Iannick B, Corey Vanular, Josh Bibby, Vincent Dorion, Tim Russell, Frank Raymond, Phil Poirier, Dana Flahr, Jay Vaughan. New coaches this year include Sammy Carlson, Justin Dorey, Tanner Rainville, Chris Turpin, Matt Hayward and Colby West, with other top names still in the works such as Kuya Turski, Jen Hudak. We are also expecting to see both Simon Dumont and Tanner Hall back this summer shredding the terrain and stoking out the campers.
Our Mogul team is as strong as ever including Olympic Champion Janne Lahtela, and fellow Olympians + World Cuppers , Warren and Jamie Tanner, Scott Bellavance, Ryan Johnson, Shelley Robertson, Kelly Ringstad, Katherina Kubenk and new this year World Cup medalist Vincent Marquis . We’re also looking to bring in US superstar and 2005 World Champion, Nate Roberts.
DJ Booth and Demo Center
We’ll have unrestricted airways this summer with the only DJ Booth set up on the Showcase T-Bar. At the Demo Center try out all the latest Salomon gear before it hits the stores next season and enjoy plenty of free giveaways and tasty dogs.
Hybrid Sessions is Back
We are again the only camp to offer a ‘hybrid’ session for those of you who want to train half freeride and half moguls. This is available in both our youth and first adult sessions.
High Performance Competitive Program
We’re continuing to offer our HPCP this year for those of you wanting to get an edge on the competition, whether you’re aiming for the Olympic Gold or the X-Games crown. Our coaches have all been there and know what it takes to become a champion. They will give you invaluable insight into what it takes to be the best!
Great Sponsors back again…
Salomon will again be one of our lead sponsors with their demo tent and all the latest skis to try out, as well as new skis to win every week. SkullCandy are back and will be hooking up every camper with a set of headphones. Dakine has created a new special edition Rasta Momentum pack and has more great prizes to offer. Oakley is entering their 17th year sponsoring the camp and will keep the Oakley Challenge alive, Newschoolers are coming on board this year with lots of swag and direct updates from the glacier. Bula will provide a special edition Momentum beanie for every camper. Kinesys will be keeping you protected from the beautiful and intense sunshine on the hill and you will be loaded up with all you can read and swag from our magazine sponsors Freeskier & SBC Skier Magazine. Voleurz is our official camp movie sponsor, shooting images all summer for their up coming new film plus awarding lots of swag. They along with many other film companies will be shooting the lane this summer.
