The AfterJam Freestyle Camp roared back into life in Les Deux Alpes after its debut success last year.
It was almost like real life.
Jack Foreman, ex-Graystone Action Sports coach, also provided excellent freestyle 101 coaching yet again this year.
The beauty of the AJ week is the diversity it offers to campers.
The L2A snowpark is always one of the finest Europe has to offer through the summer months.
Features are selected and shaped to offer a progressive park, most features come in varying sizes and difficulties.
Jumps range from 5-85ft and the rail section offers simple boxes to advanced double kinks and S-rails.
Even the more energetic campers struggled to tick everything off the list before the week was up.
Many made the journey to experience the mountains on two wheels more than two planks.
Built, just like the snowpark, with progression in mind.
The local skateboarding scene is another beating heart of the resort.
The park features an epic bowl, plaza section and some big rails and gaps.
The joy of the week for me is this.
Slushy park on the hill in the morning, summer holiday in the afternoon.
No end to the send.
It really ticks all the boxes.
Not least Newschoolers providing some goodies for prizes and media support.
On the cans front, Monster Energy and Dragon Soop kept campers going on and off the hill.
Faunas excellent park sticks were on-hill and finely tuned every day for demos.
Retrofitted provided vintage attire for all your gaper-day needs (RIP Gaper Day 2020).
To wrap it all up then, what a week it was.
Big names on the ski coaching and sending.
Big names providing support for campers all week.
Amazing parks for skiers, bikers and skaters.
And seemingly endless sunny daytime happenings to be had.
This camp is in its infancy but is already huge and only going to get bigger and better.
The only problem is its not two weeks long, or three, or the whole damn summer!
