HIGH CASCADE COACHING
High Cascade is known for world-class snowboard coaching
High Cascade Snowboard Camp has been coaching snowboarding longer than any other organization in the world. Literally. Under the direction of head coach Elijah Teter, with coaches like Zeb Powell, Grey Katko, and many others focus on your specific needs to make you the best rider you can be. When you combine our world-class coaching with Mt Hood’s pristine parks and flawless summer weather, progression is inevitable at HCSC. Come dial in your riding skills and take home a bag of tricks large enough to make even the best of pros jealous.
Whether you are a beginner, intermediate, advanced (or anything in between)
We have the right coach just for YOU! Campers are divided into coaching groups according to ability first and age second, then placed with the most suitable male or female coach. The High Cascade coaches are trained in freestyle snowboarding and have the ability to help you progress at any ability level.
The Perfect Balance™
Unlike instruction you may get at a resort, HCSC’s coaching program is designed to go hand-in-hand (or mitten-in-mitten) with the world-renowned terrain parks at Mt Hood. Our coaches will guide you through this terrain at your own pace to hot step your progression and promote fun while doing so. We call the marriage of the people and our parks, The Perfect Balance™, as it is designed specifically to lead progression.
To really boil it down, in order to achieve The Perfect Balance™, High Cascade employs trained and Authorized Awesome™ coaches (people pt. 1) to help show our amazing campers (people pt. 2) how to use Mt Hood’s Exclusive Terrain Parks (parks) to advance their riding at a specific and comfortable pace (progression).
Mathematically speaking, it looks like this, for those “numbers” people:
High Cascade x (People + Parks + Progression) = The Perfect Balance™
Coaching Focus:
Stance
Approach and landing
Spotting
Edge control
Speed control
Air awareness
How long are you with your coach?
Campers are with their coach and group until 1:30pm* and then finish the day by choosing any of the offered daily afternoon clinics. Every day we offer optional jump, rail, and halfpipe clinics for all abilities. Each session there will be optional Signature Clinics offered by Signature Session™ Pros in collaboration with our coaches. How about a rail clinic with Chris Grenier, a one-foot clinic with Scott Stevens or a jump clinic with Maddie Maestro?! We’ve got all that and more!
*Campers stay with their coaches all day the first day on hill
