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!

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.
Windells Academy snowboard students took off last week and headed for California. The students have been competing in each stop at this years Revolution Tour. Dates have included Mount Snow VT, Copper CO, and Boreal CA. Students competed in both Boarder Cross and Halfpipe this past week at Boreal. The last stop of the tour is scheduled to be right here in Oregon, at Mt. Hood Meadows on March 16-18th. If you live in the area, this is for sure an event you want to check out.
