There’s a list in my head of things I want to do when it comes to snowboarding.  It’s not really a bucket list but more a list that every snowboarder dreams of.  One of the items was to do a summer at Mt Hood and I can finally cross it off the list.  There was [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

When America’s Next Top Pro Model began at Mt Hood yesterday, it was the place for pro snowboarder with pro models to come in order to prove they are the Top Pro.  Plenty of big names came out to ride like Heikki Sorsa, Iikka Backstrom, Austin Smith, Bryan Fox, Marc Frank Montoya, Kyle Clancy, Chris [...]
