Join us for our first “Intermediate Freestyle Camp”. This event is designed specifically for snowboarders who already have experience in the park and are excited to tackle goals in one of the best parks in the country.
At Progression Sessions we aim to deliver the best possible coaches for the Job, and with small camper to coach ratios you’ll get all the detailed attention you’ll need to achieve your goals.
Our Star Coach for this session is Chris Hargrave, AASI National Team Member, Olympic Halfpipe Coach, and Timberline Freestyle Training Center Manager. With 30 years of coaching freestyle to athletes over the world you’re sure to gain the insight you need to reach your goals.
We scheduled this event in May to take advantage of the Northwest’s best “Second Winter” destination. When most ski areas are pairing down or switching off, Timberline is actually expanding their operations hosting; 4+ terrain parks (including a halfpipe); 4,500 vertical ft. of lift driven sliding from the top of Palmer to our Lodge, wide open groomers, and plentiful backcountry opportunities above and beyond the lifts.
The adventure doesn’t stop when we leave the mountain, every evening we’ll host an optional activity; waterfall hike, movement analysis sessions, restorative yoga, etc. or if you prefer you can spend the afternoon relaxing in one of our on site hot tubs, or competing for bragging rights at the pool table. To keep you going we’ll fuel your body and mind with good nutrition, hardy homemade breakfasts, healthy items to build a perfect sack lunch, and snacks whenever you’re hungry. For dinners we’ll be serving up a family style feast at our lodge, or we’ll make reservations at one of the many local restaurants.
This is an advanced Snowboard session for riders with some experience in the park. This session has a minimum participation of 4 persons to operate, if minimum participation is not met within 30 days of travel you will receive a full refund, or you can elect to convert your reservation to a private or semi private session.
