I was digging through some old files and came across the 2002 addition of Windells Brochure. Inside there were pictures and interviews with some of the top talent in snowboarding today, most notably - SHAUN WHITE. Plus a lot of old school campus and park pictures. Here are some of my favorite pages!

Windells is in the middle of the first Winter Camp of the 2009/10 season and the campus is being blanketed in Fresh White Snow as we speak. The forecast is calling for a few inches down at camp but Mt Hood will receive up to a foot of powder for the campers to shred all day tomorrow.

Burton has always been an innovative company. Whether it is their products, riders, employees, etc–there’s always something new and exciting going on at Burton that’s pushing snowboarding.
