Sammy Carlson Invitational

Sammy C wants to turn heads this summer at Windells Camp & Mt Hood, Oregon during session 3.  His plan, along with the help of a long list of great sponsors, is to build the BIGGEST step-over ever built on Hood.  The hour long jam style event is going to showcase the highest level riders of all of the nations. Jossi Wells, Simon Dumont, Phil Casabon and Henrik Harlaut are already confirmed.

Windells is excited to be apart of this event and is extra pumped that Sammy chose his home mountain/camp to host the event.  He has been spending a ton of time in Windells lane so far this summer.  Check out some photos already from this season.

Session Two Has Begun!


Windells' own Everest with a trick that will probably be in the session video...

The Diggers put in tons of work to bring this session’s dream feature to life. A eurogap, polejam, barrier bonk, stairset, and a quarter pipe all rolled into one. Just wait for the video to come out, some hammers were dropped on this thing, on both the ski and snowboard end of things. The sun was out, good vibes were going around, and everybody was stepping up their game… [Read more...]

Camper of the Day: Noah

It’s our second on-snow day at Windells Camp and the weather cooperated for a great day on snow in the Windells private park where we found our latest camper of the day. Noah is a 14 year old snowboarder from Ohio who came to session 1 and stayed for session 2. He’s been a bright personality around camp and has given many high 5′s on snow to fellow campers and staff. When he found out he was Camper of the Day, he hit the first jump in our private park and went big just to show his appreciation!

Camper of the Day: Andrew

We’ve arrived at the first day on snow for session 2 at Windells Camp where a mix of skiers and snowboarders hit the slopes for fresh snow and cold winter weather in June. Today we tagged along with Josh Bishop’s group where we met 16 year old skier Andrew from Denver, Colorado.

Why did you choose to come to Windells?
Andrew: It’s awesome and fun and you get to go skiing in the summer.

What was today like on snow?
Andrew: It was great, it was a little cold but we had some fresh snow but it was fun.

How do you like the coaching so far?
Andrew: It’s really awesome, they help you out and it’s fun.

What are you wanting to work on at camp?
Andrew: I want to learn how to do flips. The airbag wasn’t up today but that’s where I’ll start.

What activities are you liking on campus?
Andrew: I like rollerblading and jumping on the trampolines.

Stay tuned for more Campers of the Day each session at Windells!

Session 1 Ladies night with Betty Rides

This one is for the ladies out there: we all know that it is really fun to snowboard, ski and skate with the boys. But, sometimes it’s a nice break from the world of dudes to have a ladies night and really girl-out, and that’s what the lady campers of Session 1 did. Betty Rides came to camp, popped Thrashin’ in the DVD player (if you haven’t seen this movie, definitely watch it), and put on the girliest night Windells has ever seen. It was a refreshing break from snowpants and skateboards for a few hours –80′s movies, nail painting, girl talk? Yeah, it sounds like the most girly thing in the world, but trust me, when you’re outside being one of the boys all the time, this is your perfect mini-break at camp.
