Windells is in the middle of the first Winter Camp of the 2009/10 season and the campus is being blanketed in Fresh White Snow as we speak. The forecast is calling for a few inches down at camp but Mt Hood will receive up to a foot of powder for the campers to shred all day tomorrow.
Snowboarders, skiers and skateboarders from all around the World came to experience Windells, The Funnest Place on Earth.
Beware of Dakine’s Abominable Snowman! He Comes out when the snow reaches his toes.
Special Thanks to All of our Sponsors, Now we get to Hook up Campers with New Gear! Nike Hooked us up with the sweetest jackets!
Lastly, take a sneak peak at Windells new secret addition to the Concrete Jungle covered in snow at night. It is hard to see it all but I guess you will have to wait and see. Thank you Jamie for building the most creative skate features to ever hit the camp world.

The 5th edition of The Louie Vito Rail Jam will take place December 26th 2009. This was the biggest event that the Madriver Ski & Snowboard Resort (where Louie 1st snowboarded) had last year with just shy of 400 competitors and after all the national publicity Louie has received recently this event will be OUT OF CONTROL! Plus, Windells is giving away a week to The “Funnest” Place on Earth as the Grand Prize.
Windells would also like congratulate Louie on his podium at the Grand Prix last weekend. It is always nice to see competitors like Louie snowboard at Windells summer after summer for years, take it to the next level. Keep It Up.
World famous freestyle skier Glen Plake made a stop at Mt.Hood this week to hang out with the students of Windells Academy. Glen and his wife Kimberly chose Hood for one of their multiple stops on their “home town” ski tour. Glen, famous for his 2 foot tall, usually multicolored mohawk, decided to keep it real this week and keep his hair tucked nicely into a warm hat. Plake hit the park with the students of Windells Academy all day, and even gave them a few pointers on his famous “ballerina skiing” methods. Plake also took the time to show the students some of his favorite freestyle ski moments in history on his flat screen TV nestled into his built in tune shop on in the right side rear of his personal tour bus. After skiing, Glen headed inside to sign autographs, and pass out some free gear for anyone at Timberlne. The conditions couldn’t have been nicer and everyone had a blast. Thanks Glen
When Moxy first pulled into Windells Two years ago to begin his coaching job, I did not believe that he was 18. I actually thought he might be lying just to have the job. I was also skeptical on his coaching skills cause he was so young looking and quiet. Turns out, he destroys it at coaching and skiing! Click Picture to watch his Edit on Vimeo!
