Price, explained without spin
We are the most expensive adult snowboard camp on Mt. Hood. That is a decision, not an accident, and you deserve the actual arithmetic behind it rather than the word ‘premium’.

The arithmetic
Take a seven-day camp. In a group of thirty, a coach’s eyes are on you for a fraction of each run. In a group of four, they are on you for most of it. That ratio is the single largest determinant of how much you improve in a week, and it is the most expensive thing to provide.
Coaching happens, and it is good. But your specific stance error may go unnoticed for three days, which is three days of reinforcing it.
Your coach knows your name, your leak and your goal by Monday lunch. Nothing goes unnoticed for three days.
Better still — and at typical private rates a week of it runs many multiples of this camp. Four-to-one is the point where the economics and the outcome meet.

Where the money goes
What the ratio is for
Four-to-one is not a luxury detail bolted onto a normal camp week. It is stage two of a five-stage loop, and the loop is the reason the week works at all.
Summer glacier corn is the most forgiving surface in snowboarding. Falling stops hurting, so your body stops bracing.
Four campers per coach. Your coach knows your name, your leak and your goal by Monday lunch.
Timberline's airbag lets you try the scary version twenty times with no landing consequence.
Every evening we put your footage on the screen and find the one thing to change tomorrow.
You wake up and do it again — 7 days back to back. That repetition is the part winter can never give you.
Proof
“I was able to progress my riding, and at the same time, I felt safe because I knew I had great coaches I could trust. Morning exercises on the mountain and video feedback were super valuable… Riding Mount Hood in the summer, meeting new friends, seeing old friends, watching pros ride, and getting coached by the best is super special.”Jimmy Rivas · RN, 37, Chicago
“I was nervous about it being my first year snowboarding and possibly holding people back since I didn’t have a lot of park experience, but the coaches were great at breaking things down into stages for me to try and build my confidence and progress at a pace I was comfortable with. My riding improved so much.”Chris Rosa
Sessions
Exact calendar dates are confirmed with Timberline each spring and announced to deposit holders first. Both sessions run Monday through Sunday between June 20 and July 30, 2027.
Ride with us Monday. If by Monday night you don’t believe this is the best coaching you have ever paid for, tell your coach at dinner. We refund the entire week on the spot — including the nights you have already slept in the house. You risk one day. We risk the whole thing.
