ahhh this is truly making me very sad. High North was like a family.

god damnit. i wanted to hit up a high north adult sessh this summer

i honestly just shed a tear.

ummm wtfuck? thats super lame, best wishes on your next adventure szocs

It's been 6 years an I still haven't made a better memory. Thank you so much Shane and the rest of the crew. Best of luck.

Is momentum really that much cheaper that it makes it an all or nothing over COC? - Why the back handed dig? Whats the real story?

Sounds like COC is getting the High North Lane?

Sad to hear about the camp, it really is.

Congrats with the new kids though and best of luck with whatever you guys do now!

NO!

lol your adopted kids name is solomon..lol salomon...sorry thought it was funny

that sucks...

thats fucked up

I gotta say, I certainly am sad to see it go! High north was the driving force that birthed me into this world of skiing. The first year I went there I was 19 years old and could barely do a 360. I can safely say that I learned everything I knew about newschool skiing from there.

After 3 years of being a camper, Shane was kind enough to take me under his wing as a digger. I met many of the people that I know today, and the connections I made there have helped me be where I am right now.

High North was the first gleaming beacon of hope for a core skier. It was the only place where you could go and fully bathe yourself in the new skiing movement, and meet others who felt the same. As Freeze magazine used to call it, it was the pirate ship leading the Armada that was becomng newschool skiing.

Thanks to all the high north staff that started this newschool movement, and thanks to the staff that made it amazing throughout the years.

All good things must come to an end, and as I said to Shane the other day this is almost like a Gary Larson move. You guys remember him? Far Side comics? Well he retired when he was at the height of his career because he didn't want to ever make a comic that wasn't funny. I look at this the same way.... Shane started this shit, and when he felt it wasn't going to be the product he wanted, is walking away gracefully.

Gotta also take this opportunity to give love to all the diggers that there ever were. You were the soldiers that made the backbone of this camp, and we certainly had some of the best times of my life.

good news for windells.

Wow.... so sad.....

that sucks

RIP high north. sounds like you guys have a good thing going though. it was sick while it lasted

Very sad I will miss it
