Skill Level
It doesn’t matter what your ability is!
Each summer at adult camp we have campers who have literally never snowboarded before (and occasionally campers who have never even seen snow). On the other end of the spectrum, there is always one coaching group of very talented freestyle riders that at times give our coaches a run for their money…
About 80% of adult campers are low-intermediate level riders
The bulk of adult campers are low-intermediate level riders who want to work on their jump, rail and pipe riding.
Introduction to park and pipe riding
If you come to camp with little-to-no experience on rails, jumps, or pipe, our coaches will be sure to help you with the skills and confidence you’ll need to enter the fun and exciting world of snowboard park features. You have to start somehow right? And High Cascade is the BEST place to get the skills and confidence you need to start hitting jumps, rails and the pipe.
Are you new to snowboarding?
If you are coming to camp with little-to-no interest in trying out any park features, attending Session 1 will be your best bet. Session 1 has more freeriding beginner terrain available to ride. With that being said, Session 1 is NOT the beginner Session, it just has more beginner friendly terrain. Session 1 is also the only adult session that the Soft Start™ coaching program is offered. If you are a total beginner, or are considering bringing a total beginner, check out our Soft Start™ coaching program here.
How does it work with so many different abilities?
Before you get to camp, you will fill out an ability form with a bunch of questions regarding how long you've been riding, how frequently you ride, what your background (if any) is in the park, and which trick(s) if any you can land. We then look over everyone's ability forms and place them into small coaching groups based on ability.
