For this week’s Take me back Tuesday, we go back to Session 5, with one of our favorite guest pros, Eric Willett. You have probably seen Eric crushing slopestyle competitions here, here and here (there’s more than that, of course)–to say Eric’s an incredible rider is to put it lightly. He rips! But, maybe you didn’t know, that in addition to putting down big spins, double corks, and rail combos consistently, Eric also really good at playing tag back, a game he invented at camp last summer.
What’s tag back? Well, two people match up against each other in tag back. Each player holds the end of a Vans T-shirt in one hand and a Vans sticker in the other hand. The object of the game was to slap your sticker on the back of the other player before they could get it on yours. Sounds easy but it got pretty crazy and was more challenging than you would think.

When you take into account all the activities Windells has to offer, you realize it truly is “The Funnest Place on Earth!” They have everything; dry slope, airbag, paint-balling, rafting, BMX, trampolines, foam pit, BOB, and the famous concrete jungle to skate. The dry slope is one of the few activities where you can snowboard or ski, and learn tricks off the hill. Session 5 there was lots of dry slope activity, and the campers were getting their tricks dialed for the RED dry slope contest. It was a fun event to watch, tricks were learned and prizes were given away. Check out a couple photos below to see some of the action. Continue reading →

Summer’s more than halfway over and at Windells, we’re trying to figure out where the time has gone (it probably has something to do with all of the snowboarding and skating we’ve been doing the last two months). It’s sunny out, there’s tons of snow, and each week the park keeps getting better and better. Session 5 just came to a close, and if you missed it, here’s what went down. Continue reading →
