SAM Magazine—Natick, Mass., Jan. 30, 2025—Registration is now open for SAM’s Cutter's Camp, May 5-9, 2025, 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 technology platforms for park grooming and management.

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. 

“We are excited to host another year of Cutter’s Camp here at Timberline Lodge”, said mountain manager Logan Stewart. “Every year, we are continually impressed with the excitement and passion brought by attendees from around the globe. Cutter’s is a unique setting to learn from some of the best park operators in the industry. A place to share your wildest ideas while honing the practical skills and knowledge you need to succeed. Come share the stoke with us this year!”

“Cutter’s Camp is a great collaboration of great industry professionals and like minded individuals,” said camper Kristin Lenart of Blue Mountain, Pa. “Once I was back there, immersed in the energy Cutter's Camp has naturally, I realized I was really missing out on so many things that have changed since I had attended last.”

“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.”
