You know it’s a great day when you start and end your day with songs from the Robotfood movies…they just do a great job of pumping you up for a day of shred and stoking you out on the end of a great day. It’s day 140 of the 09-10 season for me, hard to [...]

It definitely helps make the day better [...]

July 26th, 2010We’re already down to the last two sessions before Windells ends…summer has flown by with the amount of fun I’ve been having. The session 6 campers arrived today so it was a perfect day to head up to the slopes to just freeride without either camp operating. Timberline is a public mountain but the camps [...]

GKC has many explanations but with their invasion of Mt Hood this summer they’ve created a summer edit that gives a good explanation of what Mt Hood is like in the summer. Check out the video [...]

July 22nd, 2010Today was the last on-snow day of session 5 here at Windells Camp and probably the least favorite day for weather since the winds were blowing hard on the mountain making it sunny but cold. It was a quick day on the mountain, headed up with Izzy’s group, took some laps, had a long lunch [...]
