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.
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!
It is now official. Louie Vito is a member of the United States Snowboarding halfpipe team for the upcoming Olympic games in Vancouver.
The announcement came during a ceremony following the final U.S. Grand Prix event at Park City, Utah.
“We tried to work it out mathematically and it looked like he had it, but you just never know because coach’s discretion goes into the decision,” said Louie’s father Lou on Sunday by phone from Utah. “Seeing him come out with his Olympic uniform on, we could finally rest easy. It’s finally over.”
The Olympic halfpipe competition is set for Wednesday, Feb. 17, at Cypress Mountain, which sits on the outskirts of Vancouver.
