In terms of Freestyle Progression Timberline is Mecca, and the Free Style Training Center (FTC) is ground zero. This is a place where riders come from all corners of the globe to push their craft in a fun supportive environment. The park hosts more features than you can shake a stick at; from perfectly built jumps ranging from 5′ to 50′, rails and boxes of all sizes, to features that invite creativity at all levels, the FTC has something for everyone.
We designed this session to provide clear progression for the FREESTYLE enthusiast, however that doesn’t mean you have to be “throwing down” in the park. Whether your working to land your first 180 or finally stomp a backflip this session is for YOU! Since education is what we do so we hire the BEST coaches in the world, and we ensure you level up by keeping our groups small (4 riders per 1 coach).
Your adventure kicks off the moment you land in Portland! We’ll scoop you up from the airport and bring you straight to Collins Lake Resort, right in the heart of Government Camp. Forget cramped hotel rooms—your home base is a spacious 1,250 sq. ft. townhouse shared with no more than four other riders. With 2–3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, a full kitchen, living room, and even a garage, you’ll have plenty of space to spread out, cook, and recharge.
When it’s time to hang out, the fun keeps rolling: we’ve got a dedicated staff house for casual socializing, a clubhouse for big group dinners, and several hot tubs perfect for relaxing and swapping stories with new friends.
On the mountain, progression is the name of the game. Our coaches ride with you until your legs give out (or ski patrol says it’s time to quit!). Each day has a theme carefully designed to match your goals, build confidence, and keep the stoke high. By stacking one day’s focus on the next, you’ll ride away with new skills you never thought possible.
And the fun doesn’t stop when the lifts close. Evenings are packed with optional adventures like waterfall hikes, video analysis sessions, hot tub yoga, or pool flips. Want a quieter night? Kick back in a hot tub, explore the forest, or just relax with your crew. We’ve also extended this session by one full day to make room a mandatory recovery day, where you’ll have the option to join your coaches for an Oregon exclusive adventure or simply chill.
Food is fuel—and we keep it flexible and FUN. Every townhouse is stocked with the essentials for hearty breakfasts and healthy packable lunches. We’ll also make grocery runs so you can grab anything you need. For dinners, you’ll enjoy three epic, photo-worthy feasts: a welcome dinner at the lodge, another midweek surprise, and one giant closing celebration! The other nights are yours—explore local restaurants in Government Camp or show off your cooking skills back at the townhouse.
Prefer to drive yourself to Mt. Hood? No problem—meet us at the lodge and let us handle the rest.
