2018 Summer Coaches Lineup
Spring has sprung, and while that might mean your home mountain is closing it also means that summer camp is right around the corner. This summer is sure to be a banger with a stacked lineup of coaches, and after a ridiculous 40+ ft of snow this winter, a snowpack that’s stacked even deeper. Come ride with some of the biggest names in skiing, make new friends, and tick off a bunch of new tricks from your bucket list.
Worried about scoring your favourite pro as your coach? Don’t! Campers have the opportunity to work with a new coach each day, meaning you’ll get to hang with your favourites and learn from a variety of different styles and perspectives.
Sandy Boville, head coach – All five sessions
This year’s coaching head-honcho not only slays the park, but is also known for being Vin Diesel’s stunt double in the latest Triple X movie. He’ll be bringing the hype and helping campers up their park game all summer long. Sandy has appeared in several Level 1 Productions films including Habit and Pleasure and has taken back to back wins at the infamous Rails to Riches contest.
Woodsy – Session 2 + 3 + 4 + 5
After shredding the glacier as a camper, the eternally stoked James Woodsy Woods returns for another summer at Momentum. Woodsy, who also happens to be one of Slvsh’s all-time favorite referees, spends his winters constantly contending for the top steps of the podium at freeskiing’s biggest contests. He’s got big tech rail tricks and a trademark bag of unique aerial grabs and maneuvers. Often referred to as the friendliest guy in freeskiing, Woodsy will make every day on the hill one to remember.
Evan McEachran – Session 3 + 4
A podium-quality run at the 2018 Olympics was no surprise to skiers that have followed Evan McEachren over the years. The Oakville, Ontario native and former Momentum camper has a deep quiver of big tricks and a casual style that makes every spin, flip and grab look effortless. He also played in one of the best Slvsh games ever. Evan can show you how to do almost any trick you can think of, and make it look good, too. If you need proof then check his Instabanger from the glacier last summer.
Fabian Bosch – Session 3 + 4
There are no shortage of accolades to show how sick of a skier Fabian Bosch is. To name a few, he’s an X Games gold and silver medalist, and slopestyle world champion. The Swiss Bosch has crazy air awareness, leading to some wild jump tricks that will blow your mind.
Mike Riddle – Session 2 + 4 + 5
Mike Riddle has been one of the best pipe skiers in the world for a long time, appearing in his first X Games back in 2012. Watch Riddle, another former Momentum camper, slay a rail line and you’ll realise this Olympic silver medallist has serious skill both in and out of the pipe.

Callum Pettit – Session 3
While calm and calculated on the exterior, Whistler local Callum Pettit has stepped up to some of the rowdiest lines ever descended on skis. Growing up shredding some of the gnarliest terrain in North America has given Callum an in-depth knowledge of the mountains, which he is stoked to pass on to up and coming big mountain shredders. Callum’s accolades include winner of ‘Best Line’ and ‘Full Throttle’ for his part in Sherpas Cinema’s Into the Mind at the 2013 Powder awards.

Fresh off a gold medal at the 2018 Olympics in halfpipe, Cassie Sharpe is ready to take to the glacier and teach the next generation. She’s a constant podium finisher at skiing’s top events and the first one to start a food fight in the lunch line up. There’s a good reason Mount Washington named a run after her!
Dania Assaly – Session 1 + 5
A former Momentum camper and Canadian freeski team member, Dania is the definition of a hype queen. She’ll be the first to get the party started on and off the hill and if you challenge her dance moves you’ll be sure to walk away second best.
