Momentum’s Movember Moust

admin — Sun, 27 Nov 2011 23:27:46 +0000

In respect of Movember, Momentum would like to bring awareness to Prostate Cancer…and what better way to do so than by having a bunch of our coaches, diggers and industry folk talking about their stashes!

Watch and study the video that was shot at Momentum this summer below, and the first person to correctly name ALL of the people in the video wins. You may enter as many time as like, and you must submit your answers in this thread (and all names must be in one post). Moustache rides to those that qualify!

The contest is open for one week, and ends on Monday, December 5th, at which point the winner will be announced. This contest is just for fun and all about raising awareness for Movember and its fight to battle Prostate Cancer, but prizes rule, so the winner will receive a $100 discount off of camp next summer.

On behalf of everyone at Momentum Ski Camps and Newschoolers, good luck!

Check it out.

TJ Schiller Goes Golfing…

admin — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 22:54:38 +0000

This summer TJ Schiller and Momentum teamed up to bring you the TJ Schiller 1620 Contest. In which Facebook provided a battlefield of epic proportion! Through a series of questions, contestants rapidly answered, and accumulating points trying to reach a total of 1620 points. It was a tight game, until Patrick Hughes won the ‘Look-a-like’ photo component, from there he quickly achieved the required 1620 points to clam the victory.
~It was later found that his computer no longer functioned properly due to the repeated reloading of Momentum’s Facebook page.

As listed, Patrick won;

1. A signed pair of TJ Schiller’s Skies
2. Momentum Swag Pack
3. GoPro HD
4. Skullcandy’s
5. Nike Golf Bag with more swag!
6. A round of Golf with TJ Schiller at the Whistler Golf Club! plus the golf advise of Tim Russell!
and on top of that Patrick got to bring a friend (so the lesson is to be friends with Patrick)

Unable to hold the excitement of golfing with TJ Schiller and Tim Russell.

TJ crushing it on the par 5

Unfortunately, not everyone was able to win over $2,000 in prizes and a day golfing with TJ Schiller. So we created the Mulligan Contest!
TJ’s signed some swag and we’re going to give it away through a little trivia contest. Your job is to watch the video and answer questions on Facebook!

Rules: There will be 10 posts made on facebook over the course of the next 2 weeks.
There will be one winner per post(first correct answer), and you can only win once. Therefore we will have (10) unique people in the final draw.
Also Patrick Hughes can’t win…due to winning too much in the original contest! sorry Patrick

Momentum Session V (Adults Only!)

Session V – Adults

Fun in the sun with the afternoon shoot on the big booter going off!

…with a plethora of film and photography stars on hand to capture the action, staying as tight as possible!

Vincent Gagnier and Antoine Choquette on follow cam!

James ‘Woodsy’ Woods

Adult Week was a great success this year! With as usual during this session an almost exclusive run of the glacier as most other camps have ended.

During the day off between camps an entire new Mogul course was built from scratch…

600 perfectly made bumps were created by 10 skiers in 4 hours!

Freeride

The Freeride campers started out with a few bruises…

…but after some inspiration form Dave Crichton, the rails were on lock-down!

Confidence was boosted as any imaginable trick could be tested into the Airbag!

Once tricks were landed into the Airbag, the next step was to take them to the Jumps!

After conquering the park…

…some of the group headed over to the Whistler Bungee to conquer any lingering fear of heights, by jumping off a 160 foot bridge!

plus found some other ways to to play with gravity…

Then came the Night Life

The week started out civilized with…

Lovely glasses of wine at Quattro’s Restaurant, 21 Steps, …

…then we went to Sushi Village…Sake Margaritas started the night off!

Then the Dumbos came out! John pouring while absorbing and knee rolling!

Dania Assaly with her own special way!

…and then shirts started coming off…

…and that meant only one thing……we’re off to the bar!

Conveniently located directly across from Sushi Village was the Longhorn!

The boys were hauled off the stage so the Miss Trail Bunny 2011 Contest could take over – with all proceeds going to Canadian Spinal Cord Research

The final dinner at Blacks restaurant

Adults need GoPro’s Too!

An interpretation of John Smart

A chugging contest…

A ton of Prizes and Swag!

Thanks to all of you… our Campers, Coaches, Diggers and Sponsors!

For sharing and celebrating 20 Great Years of Camps!

After such a great summer we’d like to offer everyone the chance to Win a Free Camp!
