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 [...]

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 [...]

It was the last day for snowboarding at Windell’s camp but definitely the most fun and progressive day for me once we hit the slopes.  A couple warm up runs from top to bottom just making turns and getting the muscles working again.

Enjoyed a good BBQ at Kaiser’s last night for good grub, beer and horseshoes that didn’t keep me up too late.  It felt really good to get a good nights sleep last night and be up early again for on snow at Windell’s Camp.
Today was the first day of the last session at HCSC so [...]

Despite a late night Sushi dinner with all the adult campers, today was the 3rd day on snow at Windell’s Camp.  It was also the first bluebird day of the camp for us with hotter temperatures than expected.  I did come back with a red lower half of the face, not a bad burn but [...]

At our 7am wake up call this morning, we were told the shred day was in limbo and we wouldn’t know till 10am if the winds would die down enough for shredding.  By 10am we got the call that the clouds were lowering and the mountain was rideable but to dress warm and prepared for [...]

Arrived at Windell’s Camp yesterday, slept great last night in my bunk bed and woke up early today for the first day on snow.  We have 24 adult campers, split into 3 groups with 3 coaches for the entire camp.  I’m in the intermediate group, with a good mix of riders working on their rail [...]
