SAM Magazine—Natick, Mass., Jan. 31, 2024—Registration is now open for the 20th anniversary spring session of Cutter's Camp, May 13-17, 2024, at Timberline, Mt. Hood, Ore. The five-day program for terrain park professionals features on-hill and classroom workshops, one-on-one customized operator coaching, and demos of the latest machines and grooming technology platforms from PistenBully and Prinoth. 

For the past 20 years, Cutter’s Camp has fostered an open dialogue between terrain park managers, park staff, industry experts, and suppliers from around the world. 

“Cutter’s Camp has become part of our industry's DNA. It is part of my DNA,” said Brian Norton, president and general manager of Loon Mountain Resort, N.H. “I have been fortunate enough to be a participant, a host, and a panelist at various times over the past 20 years, and I would not be where I am today without those experiences. I know the next generation of resort leadership will come from within those ranks like myself and many others already have. I’m looking forward to another 20 years.” 

“Cutter’s Camp continues to be one of the best, leading edge conferences in the industry where the focus is truly on the front-line employees,” said Mistica Walker, a special claims adjuster at Safehold Special Risk and regular camp presenter. “Every year I am awed by campers’ eagerness to learn and share. The ‘stoke’ is contagious!
