Past, Present & Future

A quick glance at how Windells started, where it has gone and where Tim Windell see’s it going.

FirstHand: Tom Wallisch

If you did not have the chance to check out Tom Wallisch on Fuel Tv’s FirstHand a month ago or so, it is now available to watch on Hulu.com.  One piece of Tom’s lifestyle they did not portray in the episode, is that he spends summers at Windells learning, coaching and having fun! And, 2 of the Windells Filmers, Tyler Malay and Jake Strassman helped out filming the show…Great Job!

Here is a video recap from 2 Summers ago of Wallisch at Windells, a little more exciting then the tv show.

Photo Hunt.

In my opinion, which is obviously bias, Windells has the most talented ski coaching lineup ever!  On top of having the most progressive coaches, the private parks and lifts at Windells are frequented by the highest level of athletes of all time, it blows my mind! 

I want to take this time to thank all coaches and guests (including campers) for contributing to Windells, and helping make it THE FUNNEST PLACE ON EARTH.  Below are some of my favorite photos from the past summer.  (and thanks to our sponsors too)

Best Day Ever

Salomon's Scotty Arnold with a backside grab here at Windells.

Headed to the mini West Linn skatepark with the session 5 skate campers (those kids rule) earlier this week and met a former Windells camper. He was all hyped on the new concrete park and skating with the kids. He gave me the heads up to a link on the ESPN Snowboarding blog where some of the Videograss and Salomon crew gave an overview of the “Best Day Ever” which involved skating the new concrete park here at Windells.

Danny Kass and Louie Vito at camp

Danny Kass and Louie Vito have both stopped by camp in the last few days. Danny came by in the Grenade RV with Grenade skater Tom Ryan and some of the Zumiez crew. They rode the Windells park for a couple of days and Danny stoked out one camper named Noah, when he gave Noah the Grenade Gloves right off of his hands.

Two Weeks ago we started a contest and we have came to a conclusion.

In the midst of one of the biggest spring snowy seassons on Mt Hood, the guys and girls in the office at Windells decided that the Goat Picture is the favorite.  Their is a funny story behind this one where his other goats where intrigued about the sticker and tried eating it.  Then he had to jump over the fence (after getting the shot) to stop the goats from consuming the Windells Sticker.  Congrats to the Winner of the 2010 Windells Dakine Custom Backpack.
