Campers heading to Sochi 2014 Olympics
We want to congratulate all of our campers and coaches who have been picked to represent their countries at the 2014 Sochi Olympic Winter Games!
With 14 campers and 14 coaches (of which 7 were both former campers and now coaches) named to represent their countries, we’ll be cheering them all on!
At the last Olympics, Vancouver 2010, 4 of the 6 medalists in Moguls were Momentum campers.
Including Olympic Gold for Alex Bilodeau, here with camper Berkley Brown. The cycle of a camper.
This is the first time Halfpipe skiing will be featured in the Olympics. Slopestyle will also debut at Sochi, which will be sure to give the unknowing world their first glimpse into another level of our sport.
