WHY CHOOSE MOMENTUM?
#1 OUR SUCCESS & TRACK RECORD
The best source of information will come from a trusted friend. If you know anyone who has been to our camp ask for their opinion. Another sign of our success is clear when you look back over the past 30 years and see how many talented athletes who came to camp went on to become the best in their disciplines, many of whom are now coaching with us.
#2 BEST COACHING
Bringing in the best coaches is what feeds our success. Our crew is made up of some of the most talented skiers and riders in the world. Their names and results speak for themselves. Our coaches don’t just ‘post-up’ or ride the lanes, they teach, motivate and inspire you all day! Their ability to demonstrate the trick or technique you are working on allows for the fastest learning possible – something that your club coaches back home may not be able to do. You will also be coached by a different coach each day to benefit from all of their unique knowledge, experience and coaching styles. The coaches work in small groups of 4 – 7 campers of similar abilities so you learn at the right pace, (4 – 6 campers in Adult Week).
#3 EXPANSIVE PRIVATE SUMMER TERRAIN
Momentum’s private area offers the greatest variety of terrain from park to bumps, rails, jumps and airbags. The Momentum terrain park is built on 6 lanes of space, including a full mogul course, different levels of jump lines, rails and 2 giant air bags. With so much terrain our park can cater to all levels of riders and doesn’t get crowded. For safer learning progression our park has a variety of jumps and rails from small to medium to large. We utilize the Whistler Water Ramp and trampolines daily with certified instructors to teach you how to build your air sense and acrobatic ability safely.
#4 FASTEST TURNAROUND

Camp Comparisons
If you are comparing other camps please be careful to note the following differences:
• Coaching: We are above all a coaching-focussed camp, offering you the unique opportunity to learn from the very top skiers + riders in the world – many former or current Olympians, experienced pros and World Cup competitors. They do not just ride the lane and train alongside campers – they are your coaches… every day, all day, inspiring, motivating and showing you exactly how to do it! Additional one-on-one video review sessions in the evenings guarantee extra feedback and fast improvement. You get to keep this personal footage, to remind you of the feedback and good times at camp.
• Facilities: Our coaching and training facilities are geared to help you improve your air skills safely, from working on trampolines, to water ramps, to on-snow airbags, including a giant Progression Landing Bag. Our park is set up for progression with smaller rails + jumps for our beginners, to more challenging intermediate features and high end pro jumps for the superstars. Hybrid camps offer skiers the choice to train moguls as well as park skills. Competitive freestyle skiers can qualify their jumps at camp.
• The Full Package: Price includes everything (NO hidden add-ons) – ALL your meals (with a dine-around Whistler dinner plan), transfers, all activities on hill and off hill (including water ramp and trampoline training). You will be staying at a 4 star hotel with an indoor, outdoor pool, hot tub, spa and fitness centre located in the heart of Whistler Village.
• In general we offer a more all-inclusive and deluxe Full Package than other camps – deluxe 4 star hotel accommodation, restaurant meals from breakfast, lunch and dinner and a diverse program of afternoon activities and still offer lower prices. If you want to keep the costs down further, you can opt out of accommodation, meals and activities and our ‘Coaching Only’ package price falls well below all others.
• Days On Snow: Most of our sessions are 9 and 8 day camps with 6 days on snow (includes 2 travel days). Our unique 9 day package includes one day off snow to relax and experience more of what Whistler has to offer. We have only 1 session, our final week, that is 7 days, which is comparable to what most of the other camps offer with only 5 days on snow.
• Private Park: We offer the largest most diverse private Terrain Park available. Our Park is made up of 6 exclusive camp lanes – only open to Momentum campers. We also offer the most diverse terrain available, including Moguls, Park, and two giant airbags. For lift access we have a fast T-Bar turnaround, which runs right alongside our terrain offering fast lap times and great mileage!
• Hours On Snow: Our park is fully operational for at least 5 hours, from 8:45 am – 2:30pm. With our fast lap times this is usually more than enough skiing /riding for a day.
• The Internet can be an excellent source of information especially watching videos from the camp. However nothing beats talking directly to someone who has attended the camp, especially when it comes to describing the more important qualities, such as the positive vibe and learning environment, created by the coaching crew we employ. If you have any questions or want details on first hand experience, we can put you in touch with former/current campers who live near you.
