Come on! They have a BagJump on Campus – do you know how safe that is?
New for 2010 – a DrySlope Leading into jumps, launching campers into Windells BagJump. This is being built as we speak on Windells 53 acre Private Campus. It is nice having our own spot, it enables us to continue to grow the camp with the industry, this is something most other camps do not have the advantage to do.
It is hard to tell what is going on from this picture – but there he is, smoothing out the dirt. You can see the flat area where the BAG will live, and then the DROP IN area is the zone up from there, that is partially cleared out!
Here is a picture of the DrySlope Frame. 100 percent recycled galvanized steal, Windells doing their part to be GREEN. We are also building a DrySlope with 5 Jib Options – Stay Tuned for more info.
In the midst of one of the biggest spring snowy seassons on Mt Hood, the guys and girls in the office at Windells decided that the Goat Picture is the favorite. Their is a funny story behind this one where his other goats where intrigued about the sticker and tried eating it. Then he had to jump over the fence (after getting the shot) to stop the goats from consuming the Windells Sticker. Congrats to the Winner of the 2010 Windells Dakine Custom Backpack.
Runners Up Will receive a Windells Camp DVD. Pictures Below
Thank you everyone for Entering! Be on the look out for the Windells May Contest Giveaway.
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.
From February 13th through the 19th, Snowboarders and Skiers from around the World will be Flying into the Portland International Airport to come to Windells, a place to experience mind-blowing powder days and endless park runs suitable for beginners through Expert.

“Because winter camps are so much smaller, the entire staff gets to know every camper, it is definitely my favorite camps of the year” Year Round Coach Counselor, Katiah.
Tim Windell was live and in person at the most recent Grand Prix that went down this last weekend at Mammoth Mountain. He was on site tossing out tons a free stickers and our New Camp DVD’s. If you did not get a chance to visit Tim at the Grand Prix, He is on his way to the DEW TOUR in UTAH.
After the Grand Prix concluded, Tim Windell immediately hit me up and went on and on about how proud he is of how well past campers competed in the Superpipe. The Top Five Riders have spent many seasons at Windells learning and perfecting new tricks during the summer and then take what they have learned and implement it during the competitive season. It is the perfect formula to success that all Windells Alumni use and the pay off shows!
Can’t Wait For Vancouver – Good Luck Windells Alumni.
