Year Round Action Sports Camp
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!
Your local mountain will probably be closed by Easter, so why not come ski with a GINGER? Windells Easter Camp runs from April 3rd to April 9th and Ben Moxham ,a summer time super coach, is going to come out to Hood and coach the skiers. When Ben is not coaching, he is traveling around the country entering comps, filming with Poorboyz Productions and skiing with friends & family. During the past two summers, Ben Moxham was an excellent coach and skier at Windells, earning him a spot in Windells Recent Shredcasts. Check it out!

“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.
Windells is in the middle of the first Winter Camp of the 2009/10 season and the campus is being blanketed in Fresh White Snow as we speak. The forecast is calling for a few inches down at camp but Mt Hood will receive up to a foot of powder for the campers to shred all day tomorrow.
Snowboarders, skiers and skateboarders from all around the World came to experience Windells, The Funnest Place on Earth.

Lastly, take a sneak peak at Windells new secret addition to the Concrete Jungle covered in snow at night. It is hard to see it all but I guess you will have to wait and see. Thank you Jamie for building the most creative skate features to ever hit the camp world.
When Moxy first pulled into Windells Two years ago to begin his coaching job, I did not believe that he was 18. I actually thought he might be lying just to have the job. I was also skeptical on his coaching skills cause he was so young looking and quiet. Turns out, he destroys it at coaching and skiing! Click Picture to watch his Edit on Vimeo!
