Well, the leaves are falling, and in some parts of the country so is the snow! As all of us gear up for the winter, premier season comes to a close. Our friends at Burton, Forum, Rome SDS, Think Thank, and Videograss produced some jaw dropping entertainment this year. If these flicks can’t get you stoked for the winter season, well then you better hang up your puffy. We were blown away by the all of the films, and I’m sure you guys were too. For those of you who missed out, don’t worry! Tons of freshly made DVDs are being shipped to your local shops as we speak. For those tech savvy followers, you can even download your favorite video on iTunes. Fancy, huh.
It’s hard not to miss summer camp at Mount Hood. Sunny laps through the Windells park, fast-paced skate sessions in the Concrete Jungle, meeting new friends, learning from talented and friendly coaches, and having literally the best time ever. Summer camp is the funnest, which is why from now until next summer, we’re bringing you a tons of summer 2011 memories every Tuesday, in a weekly flashback right here on the Windells blog. Take me back Tuesdays will be filled with photos and videos of your favorite summer shredding moments: the new tricks, the sweet park, the sick pros, the awesome sponsor nights, and more. Every week, as you countdown to next summer, you can get a little bit of that sunshine and sunny shred on the Windells blog.
Our friends at Line Traveling Circus had quite the summer, both in and out of Van Bear Pig. Watch as the crew goes campin’, summer campin’, in this edition of their always entertaining webisode. Have a good winter guys and see you soon!
It’s Friday! Which means the weekend is only minutes away, but more importantly, we are announcing the photo contest winners today! Thanks for sending all of the awesome pow shots. We enjoyed sifting through them this week in the office. As the air gets colder and the top of Mount Hood gets whiter, we know that our infamous Oregon powder is right around the corner. If you have never experienced a winter out here, we highly recommend it. There is nothing better than knee deep turns through the trees, forgiving landings for those first ever back flip attempts, and all the terrain you could ever ask for. Don’t take our word for it, come see for yourself! Winter Camp is coming up quick, and these lucky winners are getting a head start! So here it goes, drum roll please…..

Well, another amazing Portland weekend is in the books. This time it was the Forum crew that paid us a visit. With their new movie premiering nationwide, the boys are truly living every day like it is “Vacation.” In the 2011/2012 installment, our friends Austen Sweetin, Cam Pierce, and Stevie Bell travel the world in search of fresh snow, urban playgrounds, and poolside festivities. Grab your Hawaiian shirt and throw on some flip flops for this one, it’s good.
This week’s edition of Take me back Tuesday is from Session 6, when the lovely ladies from Betty Rides came to camp and put on a ladies-only clinic and jam on the dance floor. Betty Rides hosted two female-camper-only events over the summer and both included Betty Rides pro riders, Windells’ awesome female coaching crew (both ski and snowboard), kickin’ tunes, and snacks from KIND Snacks!

Winter Camp is coming. Mount Hood has a new blanket of snow and the lifts are starting to turn. Some people are thinking about Halloween costumes, but not us. We are thinking about that first heavy snow fall, a midday hot chocolate, and a face mask painted white from pow shots. In honor of the new 2011/2012 powder filled season and our upcoming Winter Camp, we are giving you guys a chance to earn some money towards this session! That’s right, it’s contest time.
Start searching through those desktop folders, because we want to see YOU and your best powder photo. Show us something good. A cliff drop, a heavy pow turn, you digging out your car, anything with you YOU and POWDER. First place will get a Windells prize pack along with $100 off the cost of Winter Camp. Seconds place will get a sticker pack and $75 off, and third place gets a sticker pack and $50 off. We will give you until next Friday the 21st to get us your entries. Send us those pictures!
*Send one entry per person to marsha@windells.com by Friday Oct. 21st at 3pm Pacific Time.
This past weekend we got a chance to catch up with the Rome SDS crew for some premiers, some shenanigans, and of course, the Downtown Throwdown. Winter is in the air as the national tour for “The Shred Remains” comes to an end. Having traveled from coast to coast in a van they call home, it was nice for the team to get out and peruse the town, and even do a little guest judging and competing. The 6th Annual DTTD, set in Pioneer Square, attracted a mixed crowd of die hard fans and first time spectators. We joined LNP, Johnny Lazz, Marie France-Roy, Rusty Ockenden, John Cavan, Riley Nickerson, and Derrek Lever for a little taste of snowboarding in the Pacific Northwest.
