Allee Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 Well, it looks as if I'm not going to make SES next Feb, as it clashes horribly with the significant other's 40th birthday and he wants to go kayaking and beach camping in Belize. (Life is full of tough choices ...) Soooo... in order to improve my crappy riding, I'm considering going to the Snowperformance camp at Sun Peaks in December. Has anyone been to one of these, and can give me some feedback? I've never been to Sun Peaks either, so comments on the hill would be appreciated as well...

lonerider Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 Well, it looks as if I'm not going to make SES next Feb, as it clashes horribly with the significant other's 40th birthday and he wants to go kayaking and beach camping in Belize.

Has anyone been to one of these, and can give me some feedback? I've never been to Sun Peaks either, so comments on the hill would be appreciated as well... I went last December. If you have the money to spare, I highly recommend it for riders of all levels. We had a few people who had never been on a snowboard before, all the way up to a competitive World Cup racer - and the coach took great care to work with everyone on their techniques. Sun Peaks itself is a wonderful mountain - all the terrain of Whistler, but with a small town charm instead of the Disneyland feel. The snow was a bit better as well as I think it's on the other side of the jetstream. It was a little bit of the ways for most people, but since you are based in Calgary, it should be only like a 5 hour drive as Kamloops is halfway between it and Vancouver (totally worth it). A side note is that there must be something in the water up there, because all the service people in the restaurant are consistently gorgeous. Here are some photos I took when I was there. http://www.dotphoto.com/go.asp?l=ChangArvin&AID=2164550 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike T Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 I was at the same session as lonerider. My review is pretty much the same as his - just do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Randy S. Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 Do a search on snowperformance. I posted a review a couple of years ago. Basically I said If what lonerider says about the people working there is true, perhaps I need to make the trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeW Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 Did alpine racing training with them when I was on the Deaf Olympics Alpine Snowboard Race team. BIG thumbs up for 'em. Great coaching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
