When I went to Momentum (formerly SMS) in 2001, the crazy kid in my group was a ripper that barely said anything but was throwing Lincoln loops over the big jump and schooling the entire under-16 population of the camp. He then got caught smoking weed in his room right after he smoked me in the camper slopestyle contest. I got moved into first place by default, but it more firmly established his reputation as the camp crazy. The other option was to scorpion yourself, by repeatedly trying backflips, whenever Sarah Burke could see you. During my session, George, the British socialite from Hong Kong who only skied at Vail, did just that. Unfortunately, his accent and social pedigree deep-sixed his possibility of becoming a true badass, and his efforts to destroy his body were completely for naught.
Fortunately, there are several ways for the visiting pros to notice you that have little to do with skill (which is way too much work these days anyway). As long as you have a decent 540 under your belt with some bang to it, several options exist to bolster your personality cult at Windells, COC, Momentum, or any of the other glacier camps.
