White Pass All Stars – 3-Day Snowboard Camp
Be part of something new — our first-ever snowboard camp at White Pass, Washington, held over the long weekend, Friday through Sunday. This 3-day progression experience includes lift tickets, focused coaching, and a full weekend of riding, learning, and connecting. Each day highlights a different focus — carving, freestyle, and off-piste riding — giving you the perfect balance of structure, challenge, and adventure.
After the lifts stop spinning, join us for après video review sessions, community gatherings, and a Saturday night banquet party to celebrate your progress.
We’re calling it ALL STARS because we’re bringing in some of the best of the West to coach this event:
-
Josh Spoelstra – AASI National Team Snowboarder, Instructor Trainer, and Backcountry Guide
-
Kara Strehle – AASI-W Education Staff, Instructor Trainer at Palisades Tahoe, and K2 Team Athlete
-
Josh Thompson-Bourrie – AASI-W Education Staff, Instructor Trainer at Palisades Tahoe, and Founder of Progression Sessions
Lodging can be added for an additional charge at nearby Packwood Lodge and Cabins, each room features 2 beds and an insuite bathroom and can accomdate up to 2 people.
This camp is designed for intermediate to expert riders who can confidently link turns on black groomed runs. A minimum of 9 participants is required to operate; if the minimum isn’t met within 14 days of the start date, you’ll receive a full refund.
Friday — Fundamentals of Carving: The Inclination–Angulation Equation
Meet in the White Pass Lodge at 8:30 a.m. for our first day on snow. We’ll kick off the weekend with a deep dive into the physics of carving — exploring the relationship between inclination, angulation, board design, speed, surface, and space to truly understand how carving works (and why it’s so fun).
The morning will focus on turn phases and edge control, using a structured approach to highlight the subtle details that make great carvers stand out. Once the lifts stop spinning, we’ll head indoors for a personal video analysis and group recap. Expect a full day — we’ll wrap up around 5:30 p.m., so plan accordingly.
Saturday — Freestyle FUN-damentals
Meet in the Lodge at 8:30 a.m. We’ll start with a few warm-up laps, then dive into the foundations of freestyle — creating rotation, bending the board, and building a strong platform to launch tricks. From there, we’ll move into the terrain park to break down the art of reading and approaching features.
In the afternoon, it’s all about style and flow — working through your goals with hands-on coaching and video feedback. When the lifts close, we’ll regroup indoors for another video review session, followed by a hosted banquet dinner and celebration to toast your progress.
Sunday — Off-Piste Tactics
Meet in the Lodge at 8:30 a.m. White Pass offers incredible terrain — old-growth glades, steep pitches, and playful drops — and today we’ll put everything you’ve learned into motion. We’ll begin with a group safety and buddy-system review, then spend the day exploring varied off-piste terrain: moguls, trees, steeps, and natural features.
The goal is to build adaptability, flow, and confidence you can carry into any mountain environment. We’ll close out the weekend with a group party lap to celebrate new skills, new friends, and an unforgettable first All Stars weekend at White Pass.
