Due to the amount of jam packed FUN and Excitement Windells Academy is having, it has been 2 weeks since the last update, so let me fill you in. The students of Windells Academy have been on the road traveling to contests nationally from Vermont, to California, Colorado, Utah and Oregon. Ski students spent time at the Dew Tour at Mount Snow in West Dover, Vermont, Feb. 5-7, where our own Nicky G, and Eric Hughes threw down some killer runs in slope style. Snowboard students headed for Colorado, Feb. 4-10th for the Revolution Tour stop at Copper Mountain, and met up with the skiers Feb. 10-14th for the Aspen Open. Windells Academy skiers threw down some massive runs on the aspen open slope style corse, which was the same exact corse where the X-Games were held two weeks prior. Snowboard students competed in the halfpipe event along side Windells alumni JJ Thomas, and Dylan Bidez. Windells Academy skier, Eric Hughes placed 3rd overall in slope style at Aspen Open.
Check back at the end of the week for more photos and an awesome video edit by Windells Academy student, Jamison Skinner.

Shaun White’s father would once carry him up Windells Private Pipe during the summers on Hood and now look where he is, private heli, private pipe and a private foam pit.
Things have changed a ton at camp since then with our own private lift and a private bag jump. Doesn’t seem to different from the lavish life of Shaun White, does it?
