Make sure to check out Woodward at Copper‘s summer camps, quite possibly the raddest place on the planet, and one of the premiere trick-stomping playgrounds in the world. It features The Barn, a 19,400 sq. ft. comprehensive ski and snowboard freestyle training facility complete with indoor artificial snow jumps, jib lines, foam pits, skate features and Olympic fly-bed trampolines, offering indoor and outdoor training programs where you can learn tricks in the Barn and take them on snow the same day. Summer camps begin June 14 – visit www.WoodwardatCopper.com for more details.
