Last week we brought back one of our favorite contests, “Show Us Your Windells Stickers!” We heard from a lot of you, so thanks for taking the time to show us your sticker love. You guys have been busy, stickering just about everything in your path. Here are a few of our favorite entries:
Here it is. The seecond installment of our Employee Scavenger Hunt. Our staff is amazing. They come from all over the country to live life in Mt. Hood with Windells Camp. Once August starts to slip away, they all eventually have to go back to reality and back to their roots. As winter keeps on trucking, our employees are building parks, taking classes, teaching lessons, and just about everything you can think of to pass the time until summer comes back into our lives.
We have some great news to get you guys hyped for another amazing summer here at Windells. Below you will find the latest info on our Snowboarding Pro Sessions and the visiting riders that YOU will get to shred with. Summer is six months away and we could not be more excited to lap the park all day with these great folks listed below. Check it out.
You guys are awesome. It’s true. Watching each one of you get stoked, day after day, is why we love to be at the “funnest place on earth.” Our media team works their fingers to the bone filming and editing all summer long, but we know that some of you are doing just the same! So in an effort to showcase how truly awesome all of you are, we are bringing you an exclusive all-camper summer edit series. Here are just a few of the edits we have received so far.

We know all of you invest in some serious camera equipment, and we definitely know that you put it to good use. Every shot looks so good with Mt. Hood in the background, it’s hard not to film the entire time you are at camp. So…what are you waiting for, send us your footage! If you filmed a summer edit while you were here at camp, we want to see it. Send us a link to your video for a chance to be featured on our website! It’s time to make that video viral. So get off Newschoolers, stop texting, put down Modern Warfare 3, and show us your summer edits!
Calling all Californians, Ski Dazzle is only 2 weeks away! If you have never heard, of or been to Ski Dazzle Los Angeles, well, you’re missing out. Every year, the L.A. Convention Center is taken over by the world of skiing, snowboarding, and skateboarding. For one jam packed weekend, you can get your season passes, get outfitted with all new discounted gear, or just get lost in the maze of awesomeness that is Ski Dazzle.
This weekend, Snowboy Productions is putting together the second stop of the Downtown Throwdown in San Francisco. California will set the stage for another epic battle. In case you missed out in Seattle, watch the quick video recap below. In the Northwest, it was Brandon Hobush who was crowned champion. Let’s see who claims the title in the Bay Area tomorrow afternoon.
October 29th
San Francisco Civic Center
12pm to 4pm
It’s Friday! Which means the weekend is only minutes away, but more importantly, we are announcing the photo contest winners today! Thanks for sending all of the awesome pow shots. We enjoyed sifting through them this week in the office. As the air gets colder and the top of Mount Hood gets whiter, we know that our infamous Oregon powder is right around the corner. If you have never experienced a winter out here, we highly recommend it. There is nothing better than knee deep turns through the trees, forgiving landings for those first ever back flip attempts, and all the terrain you could ever ask for. Don’t take our word for it, come see for yourself! Winter Camp is coming up quick, and these lucky winners are getting a head start! So here it goes, drum roll please…..
3rd Place: Eli Frandsen

Well, another amazing Portland weekend is in the books. This time it was the Forum crew that paid us a visit. With their new movie premiering nationwide, the boys are truly living every day like it is “Vacation.” In the 2011/2012 installment, our friends Austen Sweetin, Cam Pierce, and Stevie Bell travel the world in search of fresh snow, urban playgrounds, and poolside festivities. Grab your Hawaiian shirt and throw on some flip flops for this one, it’s good.
Winter Camp is coming. Mount Hood has a new blanket of snow and the lifts are starting to turn. Some people are thinking about Halloween costumes, but not us. We are thinking about that first heavy snow fall, a midday hot chocolate, and a face mask painted white from pow shots. In honor of the new 2011/2012 powder filled season and our upcoming Winter Camp, we are giving you guys a chance to earn some money towards this session! That’s right, it’s contest time.
Start searching through those desktop folders, because we want to see YOU and your best powder photo. Show us something good. A cliff drop, a heavy pow turn, you digging out your car, anything with you YOU and POWDER. First place will get a Windells prize pack along with $100 off the cost of Winter Camp. Seconds place will get a sticker pack and $75 off, and third place gets a sticker pack and $50 off. We will give you until next Friday the 21st to get us your entries. Send us those pictures!
*Send one entry per person to marsha@windells.com by Friday Oct. 21st at 3pm Pacific Time.
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.
