After reviewing entries from Oregon, New York and even Finland we had to give the winning title to Mike Janes (left hand side). As a park crew member of Timberline Lodge Mike has been putting in work on the mountain while maintaining a nice goggle tan at the same time. As the winner, Mike will be receiving one of our new Windells Academy crew neck sweaters and a sticker package to lace his board and books with. Congratulations, Mike and thanks for everyone who entered!
