You bet! I didn't know just how different it was until I experienced it for myself. Being a London (UK) based boarder, France or Austria are the usual destinations for my trips. But, like the competition winners, I'm now looking forward to my next trip across the Atlantic. “There’s no question this is a different ski experience than you’d get in the UK or Europe”.

Someone from the Association des Stations du Ski du Québec has already shown an interest in the results! In order to have really representative stats, we need a lot of respondents from a variety of places. We advertised the study on Facebook, but we don't want Facebookers to be overrepresented, so I'm trying to reach people through other channels. Would you be willing to help us spread the word? The link is: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/NKGFH3F We have until Thursday to collect 30 more responses! Thanks! I hope it's not a bother. Sandra Hi,

It's not too far from Montreal, and they have a great facility with programs for kids. The only catch is, it's a summer program (they train in water). <a href="http://www.acrobatx.com/site/index.php?id=12" rel="nofollow">Check out this site</a> to start - hopefully it helps! Otherwise, there's a neat thing called "The Air Bag" that is kind of like a giant crash mat at the foot of a jump. It moves from hill to hill every weekend. Their schedule is <a href="http://www.theairbag.ca/en-events.php" rel="nofollow">posted here</a> - I know they have a couple of events scheduled at Sutton and Mont Blanc in the coming weeks. It's a safer way to practice... Best of luck - and tell your son I'm rooting for him! Hey Genevieve,

Anyways, he really wants to learn how to Ski Jump! Where the heck can he learn that and who can coach him?? We're in Montreal. :o) Thanks. Hi,
