Summer 2011 has come to an end. It’s always sad to see it go, but it was an amazing season filled with so much snowboarding, skiing, skateboarding, bmxing, so many sponsor activities, on hill competitions, visiting pros to meet and watch shred…there was so many fun things to do, it went by so quickly!
It’s hard to pick out just a few favorite moments from summer 2011–there’s so many to chose from, but we gave it a shot. Luckily, Windells is year round, so the awesome times don’t have to stop! Open skate and bmx is happening on the weekends all fall. If you live in the Northwest, come skate the Concrete Jungle and BOB. After that, it’s time for winter and spring camps!
There’s a lot to do this winter, but before the snow falls where you live, here are a few of our favorite moments from summer 2011: Continue reading →
In honor of Zach Leach the Salomon team put of a “Zeach” clinic during their session. Zeach’s are a fun kind of sideways maneuver that brings fun and laughter to the table for everyone. Check out the pictures from the Zeach Clinic put on.

Session 3 has finished at Windells Snowboard Camp and it was a whirlwind of a week. Mother Nature threw some almost-wintery weather at Mount Hood early in the session, but luckily campers and coaches were armed with tons of excitement and extra layers, so they could enjoy the Windells park. Good thing, because the park is still over a mile long and stacked top to bottom with a snake run, multiple hips, four rail lines in two different areas, tons of jump, quarterpipes, wallrides, and a special creeper tube. The sunny and sick days returned later in the week and there’s more snow than we’ve seen in years, meaning the Windells park is definitely the place to be for summer shredding. Continue reading →
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.
Each Season, Transworld Snow releases a Camp Guide Issue and this year it just so happens that the Cover Shot of the April Issue was taken at Windells Camp this past summer. That is 28 Cover Shots….claim. Rider Eiki Helgason GTS on Windells KAB Mini Wallride! Pictures from Windells Park show up all throughout the issue as well; pick up a copy at your local shred shop today and read why Windells is the spot to be this summer.
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!
