Windells' 2026 Olympic Guide: Come Ride With Olympians This Summer
At Windells Ski Camp, the Olympics aren’t something we watch from the outside—they’re something we’ve been connected to for decades. Long before freeskiing became a staple of the Winter Games, skiers were spending their summers on Mount Hood lapping lanes, dialing fundamentals, and pushing progression in the same place we still call home today. Many of those skiers are now preparing to represent their countries on the world’s biggest stage.
As the 2026 Olympic Games kick off, we wanted to highlight the athletes who bring a Windells connection to the competition. From campers and coaches to staff and Signature Session™ Pros, these are skiers whose Olympic journeys include summers on Mount Hood—and that makes watching this cycle even more meaningful for us.
OUR SIGNATURE SESSION™ ATHLETES
This Olympic cycle, we’re stoked to have one of our current Signature Session™ Pros, along with two former Signature Session™ Pros, heading to the 2026 Games. Each of them brings their own style and approach, and we’re excited to watch them compete on the world’s biggest stage this winter. This summer, you’ll have the chance to hang out and ski with Troy on Mount Hood and see it firsthand.
OUR EXTENDED OLYMPIC FAMILY
Our connection to the Olympic Games doesn’t stop with our Signature Session™ Pros. Below is a list of athletes who have spent time at Windells Ski Camp over the years—some from more than a decade ago as campers, and others as recently as last summer. Different paths, different timelines, all connected by summers on Mount Hood.
