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 [...]

We’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 [...]

Normally during the off days from camp I’ve been completely getting away from camp and Mt Hood in order to come back totally stoked but today was the best off day!  Last night some of the Stevens Pass crew rolled into town so I grabbed Nate and we headed to Lake Trillium to camp out [...]

Timberline is still in prime condition for riding and the magic mile chairlift is still rideable to the bottom which is awesome!  For those not familiar with Timberline, there are private camps but it’s also open to the public in the summer so anyone can shred year round.   Everyday I get to tag along [...]

Just another day on the slopes of Timberline and at Windells Camp…it’s hard to believe that we’re in session 3 and halfway through the summer!  The US Snowboard Team has been at Windells Camp to practice in the pipe and get some air bag time in on the slopes so I hit up the mountain [...]

Most of session 3 at Windells has been sunny bluebird days but today the cold overcast skies came out for the morning on the slopes.  It was a reminder that even though it’s summer snowboarding, there’s always a chance for winter weather on the mountain.  I headed up a little later than usual but went [...]

It’s been such a fun and crazy summer being out here at Mt Hood and Windells Camp but the best feeling was today when I headed up to the mountain realizing that the mountain is my office for the summer.  Every day I wake up, eat breakfast and head to the best office I’ve ever [...]

Today was the first day of on-snow for session 3 and still insane to believe that I’m at Windells Camp all summer to partake in the most shredding and fun for months.  I carpool up to the mountain each day with my skier gals Dania and Keri so we can get up early for laps [...]

It’s hard to believe it’s already session 3 at Windells…time just flies by when you are having fun at summer camp!  Today was arrival day for session 3 as campers made their way to camp for another epic week of fun, sun and shredding.  The sun was shining which made arrival day perfect to be [...]
