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 360, add style to your tail grab, 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). Coaches Are…
- Joshua Thompson-Bourrie, Progression Sessions Founder, AASI-W Ed Staff, and Staff Trainer at Palisades Tahoe
- Erick Espinoza, Competitive Freestyle Coach, AASI-W Alumni Staff, and Staff Trainer at Jackson Hole
- Stephanie Wilkerson, AASI National Team Alumni, AASI-W Ed Staff, Founder of Altitude Snowboarding
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.
Food is fuel—and we keep it flexible and FUN. Every townhouse starts stocked with the essentials for hearty breakfasts and healthy packable lunches. Throughout the week we’ll make grocery runs so you can grab anything else 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.

Day 1, Monday – Arrival Day
Touch down at PDX by 4pm (or meet us in Government Camp by 5:30pm) and settle into your townhouse. That evening, we’ll kick things off with a family-style welcome feast at our lodge—great food, new friends, and a chance to connect with your coach about your goals for the week ahead.
Day 2, Tuesday – Setting the Foundation and Tuning Workshop
We roll out to the lifts around 8:30am for a full day on the mountain. Your coach will help align your riding, gear, and goals while showing you around the park. You’ll leave the day with a clear plan for progression. In the evening, we’ll host a hands-on waxing and tuning session so your board rides fast and smooth all week—skills you’ll keep long after camp ends.
Day 3, Wednesday – Progression & Video Analysis
Now the fun gets focused. You’ll ride with your coach, working directly toward your goals while they capture video of your best. Later, we’ll gather for a deep-dive video session, breaking down your riding frame-by-frame to give you clear, personalized steps forward. It’s pro-level analysis made easy and accessible.
Day 4, Thursday – Smart Riding
By now your legs are starting to feel it, so today is about progressing SMART. Based on the lessons of the previous evenings rider analysis session, your coach will take you through a series of tasks to move you closer to your goals without pushing you past any physical limits. After boarding you’ll have a chance to chill for a bit before heading to town with the Team for a Hosted dinner at one of our favorite restaurants.
Day 5, Friday – Coaches Clinics
Today is all about expanding your horizons. Each coach leads a specialty clinic in a specific environment: JTB’s in the Pipe, Stephanie’s on Medium Jibs, and Ericks at the Airbag and Small Jump, giving you the opportunity to break free from your group and chace your own personal nirvana. Cameras roll again so you’ll have video highlights to review later.
Day 6, Saturday – Final Focus and Celibration
For our final day on the hill we’ll put all that effort to good use and ride till our legs hurt. We’ll form groups based on ambitions and catch a final clip of your progression to show off your new found skills on our Instagram page :). Afterward you’ll have a chance to pack up a bit before our final BBQ Celebration—because progression deserves a proper party and that’s exactly what we’re gonna do!
Day 8, Sunday – Goodbyes
All good things must come to an end… or do they? Departing flights leave after 9am, and we’ll make sure you’re at the airport with plenty of time. But if you’re not ready to stop progressing, why not join us for another session… maybe FFS, Chile, Argentina??
