Since I’ve been out in Oregon it’s easy to forget what day of the week it is but today was a great Friday!  Camps in session, we’re on day 2 for snow time and plenty of time to get the stoke out on the mountain.  I woke up early for breakfast where the Windells kitchen [...]

It’s hard to believe that on June 17th there would be fresh snow at Timberline in Oregon but today there was 8-10 inches of fresh snow for the first day on snow day at session 2 of Windells Camp. I headed up to the mountain bright and early to check out the new snow we [...]

In my 27 years of being on earth, I can truly say that today was the best birthday I’ve ever had.  Unforgettable and amazing!  Just like any other day at Windells Camp I woke up, made it in time for breakfast, packed my lunch and then carpooled up to the mountain with Windells ski coach [...]

It may be June in Oregon with summer just around the corner but today winter paid a visit with cold temps and weather on Timberline.  The mountain opened up the lower chairlifts and created a mini park for camp so we could hit up the mountain today despite the weather. A bit cloudy walking up [...]

It’s hard to believe that I’m really at Timberline and Windells Camp snowboarding, but every day I wake up, get my gear on and head back to the mountain to capture snowboarding in it’s most core form…snowboarders who ride in the summer.  Today was a action packed camera day, I spent most of the day [...]

Session 1 at Windells Camp is in full swing and today was the  first on-snow day of camp.  The weather cooperated and despite some cloud coverage on Timberline, most of the day offered up bluebird skies. I met up with some of the staff in the parking lot and ended up riding with Steph one [...]

It’s been a rainy past week in Oregon but today the sun came out full scale for a great day on the mountain. I woke up at 9am, got my gear together quickly and headed up to the mountain with Johnny from camp.  A bunch of the staff was up shredding since today was a [...]

I arrived at Mt Hood, Oregon a couple days ago to get acclimated to camp life before the first session of summer snowboard camp will begin at Windells.  I had talked to Tim a couple months ago about coming out to camp, helping with blogging and being here as  shayboarder to write about the rad [...]

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 [...]

I’ve been anxiously awaiting coming to Windell’s Camp all summer for session 7 and I am finally out here.  Today was the arrival day for camp, which meant a day of travel for me to get from Steamboat Springs, Colorado to Portland, Oregon. I left Steamboat last night, stayed in summit county and my friends [...]
