Momentum 2015 Session 1 – Photo/Video Recap
Summer 2015 has begun in Whistler, BC! The kick-off to this summer was exciting as ever, as we were beyond stoked to unveil what is without a doubt the best park we’ve ever created. With new rails, new flow, the most mogul lines we’ve ever had, and a perfect 70-foot jump, the campers and coaches were stoked to get back on skis and explore our new park. Throughout the week we were graced with beautiful, sunny days, making for an all-time kick-off week during our session 1 Family Week – which mixes both youth and adult skiers in their moguls and freeride groups!
The session 1 recap edit is at the bottom, but since you probably can’t wait, check out this quick teaser of our 2015 park:

The crew of coaches for session 1 was once again a stacked lineup of some of the best pros in the world, consisting of: Justin Dorey, TJ Schiller, Corey Vanular, Matt Margetts, and Austin Ross on the freeride side, with Eddie Hicks, Tami Bradley, Ken Rhodes, Heidi Kloser, Tanya Callon, Kristi Richards, and Clay Renwick coaching the mogul side.
Words can only do so much in telling how much fun session 1 was, so we’ll let this short photo essay do this talking:
