We don't sell spots. We build two groups, carefully.

Why an application

Because a bad group is unfixable and a refund doesn’t undo it.

The most common way an adult camp week goes wrong is not the coaching or the snow. It is being put in a group that is riding at a level you are not, and spending seven days either terrified or bored. That is a grouping problem, and grouping problems are solved before people arrive, not after.

WE SCREEN FOR

Level, honestly stated

We would rather you undersell yourself. It is far easier to move someone up on Tuesday than to rebuild their confidence after a week of being out of their depth.

WE SCREEN FOR

What you actually want

A rider chasing their first 360 and a rider who wants to stop skidding turns need different weeks. Both are welcome; they are not in the same group.

WE TURN DOWN

Genuine first-timers

If you have never stood on a snowboard, a glacier at 8,500 feet is the wrong place to begin, and we will say so rather than take the money.

The application

Four questions

Honestly, where is your riding right now?

How many days did you ride last season?

What is the one thing you want out of the week?

Which session suits you?

Good. One last thing.

Leave your email and Tommie will come back to you personally — usually within a day — with whether the camp is right for you, which session fits, and who you would likely be grouped with. If it is not the right thing for you, he will tell you that instead.

Your answers: —

What happens next

In order

STEP 01

Tommie reads it

Not a sales team — there isn’t one. He replies personally, normally inside twenty-four hours.

STEP 02

A fifteen-minute call, if it looks right

Where your riding actually is, what you want, and whether this camp is honestly the best use of your money. Sometimes it is not.

STEP 03

You’re offered a place, or you’re not

If we do not think we can deliver the week you want, we say so and point you at the camp that can.

STEP 04

Deposit confirms it

Only then. Full transfer and refund terms are in front of you before you pay anything.

A group of four, decided by us

Monday morning we watch everybody ride before anybody is grouped. That is the single decision that determines what your week is worth, and it is not one we hand to a checkout page.

What you would be applying to

The Glacier Loop

Seven consecutive days built on five conditions that only stack on a summer glacier. This is the week your application is for.

STAGE 01

Soft snow

Summer glacier corn is the most forgiving surface in snowboarding. Falling stops hurting, so your body stops bracing.

STAGE 02

Small group

Four campers per coach. Your coach knows your name, your leak and your goal by Monday lunch.

STAGE 03

Airbag reps

Timberline's airbag lets you try the scary version twenty times with no landing consequence.

STAGE 04

Night video

Every evening we put your footage on the screen and find the one thing to change tomorrow.

STAGE 05

Next morning

You wake up and do it again — 7 days back to back. That repetition is the part winter can never give you.

Who is already in

Two weeks, 150 places each

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.

“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

Two-time camper

“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.”

DAY ONE

The Day One Promise

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.

Apply, and let us build the group around you.
