Windells Academy takes a trip to K2/Line/Ride!!!!
Over the past weekend, the students of Windells Academy took a trip up to Seattle. While in Seattle, we stopped by the K2, Line skies, and Ride snowboards headquarters. The students met everyone on board at the warehouse and learned a lot. Everything from pressing snowboards and skies, creating new designs, and what sets K2 apart from the average ski/snowboard company. We also got to hang out while a couple of the team riders had a session at the indoor skate park. Even K2 team rider Michelle Parker was nice enough to stop by and say hello to everyone! Check it out!
