Every Wednesday, Windells Academy students have a “free and fun” day on the mountain. This past wednesday, Windells Academy snowboard students decided to try out what it would be like to ski!
check it out.
The sun is coming out, the birds are chirping, resorts around the US are closing, BUT Mt. Hood still has a record setting amount of snow, and more than one amazing terrain park. The students of Windells Academy are a lucky group out here with YEAR ROUND natural snow available at their fingertips. Thats right, 365 days a year, 7 days a week. This amazing natural snow is the base for our world class parks and halfpipe. Make sure to check out Windells Academy summer semester. Space is limited so sign up today for the summer a lifetime!
Who says Summer School has to be a punishment? Not us!
Experience the summer of a lifetime at Mt. Hood, and be a part of the Windells summer experience while going to school! We offer a full range of classes through Kaplan High School’s virtual education program. Through the summer months, you will have the opportunity to snowboard or ski on natural snow at least 4 hours a day, with full access to Windells Private Park and our 53 acre Private Campus. This is your opportunity to ride during the summer months, when everyone else is training on water ramps or dry slopes, and get ahead for the winter/spring competitive season.
On the academic side of things, each day athletes will spend a minimum of 3 hours per day studying and completing assignments. This balanced work load allows or students to have fun in the sun, while completing the needed study time during the summer.
Space is limited so sign up today for the summer a lifetime!

Rumors have been buzzing all around the Internet Worlds, should Windells get a second private lift in their private park or is the one good enough? Well It is official, Tim Windell himself called from the Oval Office minutes ago and made the announcment: ”WINDELLS CAMP will have a second lift for the Summer of 2010.” Windells is once again the first summer shred camp in the history of the world to own, operate and install, two of its very own private rope-tows!
The First TEN people to express their excitement via comments will receive one of the remaining ten: WINDELLS DVDs. Rules – Express Excitement – Post Name and Address – I Send DVD – ok, or send me address via sean@windells.com.
It is right around that time of year when snow starts to melt, sun starts to come out and sadly, resorts begin to close. But here at Mt. Hood, that is far from happening. Sure its the time of year in Oregon when days are full of sunshine, birds are chirping, and it feels amazing to throw on a t shirt to go outside, but that just means more outdoor time to skate and bike after the mountain! Last week the students of Windells Academy rode powder ALL WEEK long. Timberline even had Palmer, (their highest lift on the mountain) open. So there was amazing shred all the way from the top, into government camp. Not only has there been continuous snowfall on Mt. Hood itself, but the students woke up this morning to find fresh snow on the ground, right here on campus! All and all, Mt. Hood is the place to be.
Live. Learn. Eat. Sleep Ride. Windells Academy.
