Windells Academy takes a trip to Bonfire Snowboards!

Today was the second industry trip for the Academy students. We took a trip to Bonfire/Solomon snowboard headquarters to see what goes on behind the scenes. The students learned everything from how to design and put together a jacket, to meeting the team manager who gets riders on the team. Everyone was VERY friendly and everyone had a blast! We even got gift bags that included  a t shirt and a BUNCH of stickers. Thanks Bonfire! img_0245
