Summer shredding is back in style, and there are tons of Instagram photos to prove it. This week, we are catching up with Session 1 campers, staff, and visiting athletes to see what they have been gramming. Lucky for us, these folks took a break from having an insane amount of fun, to share the evidence of fun with all of you. Thanks guys. Don’t forget to follow @WindellsCamp on Instagram and stay up to date with our all of our adventures this season. Most importantly, tag all of your session photos with #windells2013 to be featured on our blog! (P.S. if you haven’t signed up for camp yet, there are still spaces. So hurry up and do it!)

The Apo Snow and Gnarly Clothing crews are at Windells Summer Camp shredding with Session 1 campers! Takeover athletes from both teams are breaking in the new jib set-up and, the immediate fan favorite, Windells Camp’s new quad kink. Ten jumps of all sizes, small 10 to 15-footers to a 70-footer, are keeping the snowboarders and skiers of all abilities totally stoked! Windells diggers used every inch of the mile-long lane this session and the Private Park is getting great reviews.

Wally is stepping up to Head Chef and he’s changing what we think when we hear the words “camp food.” Expect fresh, healthy, delicious food this summer! Wally and his kitchen crew are making more food from scratch, sourcing local produce and meats, and stocking compostable to-go containers and utensils.

May means more snow for Mt. Hood!

The snow won’t let up! Spring showers mean powder days for late-season riders. Timberline received 7″ of the good stuff on Wednesday, and 7-10 more inches fell for the Thursday morning crowd. The forecast doesn’t show any sign of the weather moving on until at least Saturday.

What does this mean for Windells campers? Pure bliss! Sheer greatness! Unbelievable late-season conditions and a growing anticipation for Session 1! The Private Park is going to be that much better with fresh snow.
