Six down, one to go, and still riding down to the parking lot. What a summer it’s been. Session 6 couldn’t have been any better. We had a ton of fun riding the park and sunny skies everyday.

The Surface team dropped in at Windells for skiing, skating, games, and even tie dying.

Session 6 Skate… so much skating.

Bobby Brown takes 1st,Elias Ambuhl in 2nd and Goepper takes 3rd!

This is the 2nd consecutive podium for the Indiana native within the past two weeks. After getting 3rd place at the North Face Open and his performance at the Dew Tour qualifiers, Goepper was invited to compete at Killington as a “wild card”. Goepper proved to be just that and impressed the judges when he went big for his final run of the slope style event; lipslide 270 on the down rail, 540 switch up on the flat down box to cork 630 out on the up box and a left 9 and switch right double 9, to right 12 on the jumps. Goepper is currently ranked 14th overall in the Dew Tour.

Slope Style Results

As the Dew Tour packs up and heads to Utah for its final stop, Goepper will be back on the road as well. Colorado, Utah, New Hampshire, Vermont and even France are on the list of destinations for Goepper this season. Colorado is the next stop where the SIA, Big Air competition will be held in Denver. As he continues to compete in professional events the possibility of attending major competitions like the X Games and Deer Valley World Cup could very well become a reality for Goepper. The 2010/11 season is the year of the “wild card” and we are excited to see what Goepper has in store for the remainder of the season.

So stoked on 2nd and 3rd! Goepper and Elias Ambuhl

From your family here at Windells Academy, congratulations, Nick! You’re doing great and we are so proud of you! Check out Goepper and other highlights of the Dew Tour here!

With world class training facilities and a top notch education program it is no wonder that Windells Academy is getting the attention of students from all around the globe. This semester, we had a trial student join us from Quebec City. Alex Beaulieu-Marchand, 16 shares his experiences with the Academy.

Alex sending it at Windells Camp this summer!

WA: Alex, you’ve joined us all the way from Quebec City, Canada! What brings you to Windells Academy?

Alex: “This summer I came to Windells Camp to ski. During my session I had Coach Liam Downey who told me about Windells Academy. I had a great time during the summer and came back to see what it was like to go to school and ski.”

WA: You’ve gone through the everyday motions of an Academy student during your stay here; early morning work outs, shredding all day, attending school and afternoon activities. What do you think of our busy schedule?

Alex: “I love it! Every day you get to ski, go to class and go to BOB to use the trampolines. Everything is here!”

WA: How does Windells Academy compare to high schools at home?

Alex: “You don’t have the aspect of a traditional classroom but you have facilities like the trampolines, air bags and dry slopes here all the time. You can progress a lot faster. I’ve worked on a bunch of new rail tricks since I have been here. You have class time but even more opportunities progress in skiing.”

WA: What else did you get to do during your stay here?

Alex: “Windells Academy travels to industry trips so I got to see the Lib Tech Factory. That was so cool! I also got to go to the movies on the weekend, chill in BOB and hangout with everyone. I like everyone here and made new friends.”

WA: What does the future hold for Alex Beaulieu-Marchand?

Alex: “I want to come back to Windells Camp this summer and ski! I’d like to compete this year, maybe in some Free Flow Tours. I had a great time with the Academy and want to come to school here. Merci Windells,au plaisir de vous revoir bientôt! (Thank you Windells! I will see you soon!)”.
