I won’t call this the last day of the season yet because I know that come September a day trip down to Timberline would be worth it but it’s the last day for me as of right now.  My knees feel sore but my heart is still wanting more of the mountain.  The park has [...]

So far this has been the best and also the longest season I’ve had which is making it hard to come back to reality but I know the time is coming soon.  Today was day 150 of the season, it’s so crazy that I’ve spent almost half my year snowboarding but I feel incredibly lucky [...]

Normally I don’t take off the weekend from blogging it up but the last 36 hours I was in a car driving from Oregon to Colorado and then back from Colorado to Oregon with no more than 20 minutes out of the vehicle the whole time.  It was operation bring my dog home to the [...]

The last couple days have been a whirlwind of fun here at Mt Hood, Oregon.  My time at Windells Camp came to an end which meant celebrating with the staff party, then packing everything up to move out of the ark.  I ended up not going far since I’ll be staying in Govy the next [...]

The last day of camp.  Summer has flown by so quickly that it’s hard to believe it’s the last on-snow day and camp is ending.   After having such a great progression session yesterday, I headed back to HCSC to finally dial in some tricks that I wanted.  Not to say that I couldn’t do [...]

When it comes to snowboarding at Mt Hood, there is only one camp that’s 100% snowboarders and that’s High Cascade Snowboard Camp located right next to Windells on the mountain.  I had the opportunity earlier this summer to check out HCSC when Snowboarder Magazine came to town and I had a blast riding there for [...]

There’s only a couple days left of Windells Camp, a couple more chairlift rides, a couple more PB&J sandwiches and a couple more times to try tricks in the Windells Park.  After camp I should be able to stick around in Oregon to get in some more shred time on the mountain so I’m looking [...]

Above the clouds is my favorite time to be at Timberline, the moment you get above you feel on top of the world.  It can be cloudy overcast below the clouds and above the clouds it’ll be bluebird and beautiful.
Windells has the demo shack at camp with all of next year’s gear available at your [...]

Today was the first day of on-snow for session 7 and definitely time to throw down the tricks before summer ends!  Timberline is still in great condition, Palmer chairlift is covered with good amount of snow still and the snow where the parks are at is still holding up.

I have a rad schedule that I [...]

It’s the weekend for Windells Camp which means most of the staff disperses to the coast or into the woods and Timberline has less people so it’s the perfect time for getting up to ride.  Public park is still holding up with a jump line and rail features but the only downside is the hike [...]
