The Saga chocolate milk race took place once again Session 4. The race all comes down to dedication. You really have to dig deep when it comes to the foot race in the snow, and then dig real deep when it comes to the milk chug! It is always funny to watch, and is great when you see the dedication pay off for the campers. Check out some visuals below to see what I mean.
During Session 5, Forum riders Austen Sweetin and Cam Pierce hardly took a break between snowboarding and skating. These guys were ripping all session long and took full advantage of everything camp has to offer. Continue reading →
Ben is a young Technine prospect that is spending his summer out here at Mt. Hood. He coached session 3 at Windells. He is a very quiet kid but is loud when it comes to his snowboarding. He is a very talented snowboarder and you will definitely be seeing more of him in the future.
Here are a couple questions we asked Ben…
Betty Rides came up to camp last session to host the Betty Rides Summer of Love Rail Jam and Clinic. The Betty crew, which included riders Danika Duffy and Olya Smeshlivaya, was excited to give away some new gear and help teach girls new rail tricks. The crew set up the rail jam in the lower section of the park, where there was a flat box, a flat rail, and a streetstyle down rail, so every girl could try new things, depending on what they wanted to learn.
After minutes of deliberation, a panel of professionals have decided that this is a switch back seven nose. We’re not totally sure, but we’re going with that.
Throughout the ages, there have been many foursomes that have defined sensibilities, innovated trends, and affected generations. In the sixties, The Beatles revolutionized rock music. In the eighties, Dr. Peter Venkham and the other Ghostbusters saved a legion of citizens from getting slimed. Flash forward to 2011, and it’s a fair comparison to say that Nick Visconti, Curtis Woodman, Jason Robinson, and Stevie Bell combined their collective radness and gave campers at Windells the best summer snowboard experience they could ever want.
The group may seem, at first, to be an unexpected foursome, but during Session 4, their unique personalities and boarding styles combined seamlessly, creating a powerhouse of fun. From morning to night, the guys were all over the place, harnessing the same energy of a whole cabin of campers. Tons of park laps, hours and hours spent in the Concrete Jungle and BOB, backflip clinics on hill, powerslide contests off hill, Bonfire Pipe 2 Pipe, and the biggest, most intense, game of knock out you have ever seen (Stevie could probably play defense in the NBA). But don’t take it from us, here’s what the crew had to say. Continue reading →
On July 22nd, a community of friends came together at the top of Mt. Hood and showed their respect to Aaron Robinson. After a few words from Brandon Cocard, Tim Eddy, and a moment of silence, the group descended on what would be a memorable run for all. Continue reading →
Windells is known for some of the best ski coaches around the world. The program has grown tremendously and brought up many skiers that are at the top of the game these days. Max was a ski camper that stood out to our counselors session 3. He was a very energetic camper who obviously was comical as well and had a fun time with camp.
Every summer a ton of pros come through Windells to skate and slide the park on hill. The snowboard program here at Windells has produced some of the biggest names in snowboarding, like Shaun White and Danny Kass. Drew happened to be a camper here last session and always looked like he had a great time. We sat him down and asked him a couple questions.
Sammy Spiteri is a counselor here at Windells. Besides being an awesome snowboarder, Sammy is always all smiles and has a positive attitude, making him one of the friendliest dudes to share a cabin with. Considering how nice Sammy is, it only makes sense that he fil’s with Bhappy, a film crew out of Tahoe. Look out for his part this year in the new Bhappy flick, I heard there are some bangers!
We caught up with Sammy and asked some questions… check them out below.
