The Westbeach Camp of Champs

Camp of Champs is the current day heart and soul of the summer shred on Horseman Glacier. Their terrain is second to none, all the pros roll in, the level of riding is high, and it’s FUN.

Looking back in time we found this ad from the early 90’s when Westbeach sponsored the camp. Wait, did we mention that we are working with them again!

Long live summer snowboarding and the Camp of Champs.

Devun Walsh recounts his memory of the event in “Out Westbeach: Snowboarding, Westbeach, and a new Canadian Dream”.

I really remember [Sean] Johnson bonking the announcer stand [and] Jamie Lynn doing late-grab 540s and snowboarding way different than anyone else. The first time I saw him was at Westbeach, and he’s doing those frontside fives in the pipe, and he’d come around late mute and bone ’em out straight—it was just like, “That is sick! He’s so different.” There was just a clear-cut difference. It’s not like he was going that much bigger—it was just solid. And that’s when I was like, ‘That’s who I wanna snowboard like.’ – Devun Walsh
