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 [...]

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 [...]

We’ve got two days off from Windells Camp before session 3 begins but that means a relaxing morning and then hitting up the mountain for an amazing bluebird day of riding with Izzy, Johnny and met up with my friend Julie and family. During off-days the Windells private park is closed so we just lapped [...]

I’ve been anxiously awaiting the beautiful bluebird days that summer riding at Timberline is known for and despite some cold winter/rainy weather we finally got a great sunny day on the slopes today. The camp features have been progressing nicely, we have the dream feature this session but also a bunch of fun features down [...]

So far the summer of snowboarding has been hit or miss with weather and today was another winter weather kind of day on the mountain.  It started out with blue skies that you thought would come out but they ended up hiding away in the clouds by the end of the morning. I woke up [...]

This morning started out with cloudy skies and rain down off the mountain but it was one of those days where it didn’t last long and Timberline was above the clouds line as the afternoon progressed on.  I headed up to the mountain later than normal to avoid the lift lines and met up with [...]

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 [...]

The weather finally cooperated for an amazing day on the slopes with Timberline above the cloud line most of the day.  It was a great day up at Windells Camp, plenty of coaching going on and the park was hopping with kids dialing their tricks. I started the day making lap with Izzie’s group of [...]
