I've a friend that's kid is into freestyle big time. He will be in Oz for the summer. WB would be a lot cheaper for Mom, but the coaching is better in Oz. Then he gets I think 3 weeks in Breck come December. Then back to Canada for more coaching.
I would suspect that the ownership change is part of the problem with this guy. He might not be able to work with them, where others can. They might want to charge more than he's willing to pay for the use of the facilities, etc.....
