Check out the recap videos from session 6!
Six down, one to go, and still riding down to the parking lot. What a summer it’s been. Session 6 couldn’t have been any better. We had a ton of fun riding the park and sunny skies everyday.
The Surface team dropped in at Windells for skiing, skating, games, and even tie dying.
Session 6 Skate… so much skating.

What a summer it’s been. Seems to be flying by. Cam Pierce, Austen Sweetin, Eric Willett and Jonah Owen were here just to name a few. The park is as long as its ever been and we’re still taking full laps from the top of Palmer to the bottom of the Mile. What could be better…

Session 4 sure was a blast, and how could it not have been with the likes of Nick Visconti, Curtis Woodman, Jason Robinson and Stevie Bell hanging around. The single largest and longest knockout games ever recorded went down, some pretty incredible skate sessions happened in BOB and the Concrete Jungle and we all shredded one of the funnest on hill parks to date!
Don’t forget about the campers! They have been out there killing it too!

The LIFEBLOOD team rolled through campus and skated for a couple days in the Concrete Jungle. Check out the video!
The skate campers had a good time visiting some of Oregon’s awesome parks, and of course, also ripped up our private park as well.
Forrest Bailey, Nial Romanek, and Will Bateman take a lap from Palmer, through Windells, through Public park and to the Mile lift. It’s over 2 miles!!! That is pretty darn good for summer shredding!

While ski resorts across the nation are packing up and ending the season, Mt. Hood is getting more snow than ever! Timberline sent over this picture of Palmer, and yes, the chairlift is completely buried. Talk about a lot of snow! Mt. Hood Meadows set records this month for the most snowfall in April with over 4ft in just the first week. The storms keep hitting and it doesn’t look like the snow will stop anytime soon. You know what this means right? Even more snow for our park during the summer months!
Spots are filling up fast, so hurry up and fill out your registration! We know you want a taste of that record breaking snow.
Windells hit the road last week to support the largest snowboard competition in the world! USASA Nationals draws in thousands of competitors from every corner of the United States. Athletes of all ages gear up and train for the events at Copper Mountain, CO in hopes to get on that podium and represent their home series. Nationals brought 1,215 snowboarders and 427 skiers to the hill for an amazing week of competition and events.
This year, competitors, patrons, and volunteers remembered the unmatched efforts of Chuck Allen, founder and life long supporter of the USASA Program. During the fun week of comps, Windells worked to raise money for the Chuck Allen Scholarship Fund, providing financial aid to deserving young athletes. Thanks to all of those who supported the raffle and donated to a great cause. With everyone’s help, Windells raised over $7,000 for the recipients to put towards tuition, camp, travel expenses, and competitions.
Congratulations to all of the competitors. Medal or no medal, it’s an achievement just to get to Nationals, so give yourself a high five. We hope everyone had an amazing competition season with USASA and we look forward to seeing you this summer at camp!
This was what it looked like atop the scaffolding at the Denver Big Air. Windells Academy Student Easton Gilman was one of the 10 riders from the US to be invited to compete on January 26th. Easton was able to make it through the qualifying rounds and advance to finals.
Finals consisted of each rider getting 3 hits. Here’s Eastons first, a backside double rodeo 900. Not bad for being 16.
Easton on the monitor spinning a FS720 and to the left getting advice from another rider and Academy coach Miah Wheeler.
Eastons final trick was a FS10, he didn’t quite get it clean but the TV cameras didn’t seem to mind! Easton ended up finishing the event in 7th place with Rocco Van Straten in 1st, Zak Stone in 2nd and Michael Macho in 3rd.
Since 1986, Windells Camp has been and continues to be the premier summer camp for all action sports. Proudly located at the base of Mt. Hood, you'll learn the latest in snowboading, freestyle skiing, skateboarding, and BMX riding.
