Usually when Pipe to Pipe comes to Mt Hood, Oregon I’m sitting in Colorado working and watching the updates from the contest wishing I could be there just to enjoy the summer shred.  But this year, I was there bright and early to watch from registration, each riders runs on snow and skate until the [...]

The very very hot weather has arrived at Windells Camp and the mountain delivered another sunny slushy day on the slopes which makes riding park very forgiving.  I started the morning with some laps from top to bottom through Windells private park and then through the public park.  The snow is melting/changing so each day [...]

Session 4 at Windells certainly has the perks and tomorrow will be no exception with the Pipe to Pipe Contest.  The doors of Windells private camp will be open for one day as the event goes down and I’ll be on the slopes and in the skate park to watch the action unfold tomorrow! If [...]

We had high winds the past couple days which means that instead of white snow we get dirt covered snow to ride down but the actual snowpack is still holding up.  Each day we strap in at the magic mile chairlift and can ride both magic mile and palmer chairlifts.  The warm weather finally arrived, [...]

Session 4 of Windells began yesterday but today was the first day to hit the slopes.  It was fun having some time off in Seattle but great to be back on the mountain.  The summer weather finally delivered with a very warm day in Oregon but the winds stayed up on the mountain and kept [...]

It’s another arrival day at Windells Snowboard Camp as session 4 began today with another batch of campers, fun times and warm weather!  Now that I’ve gotten used to the camp schedule, you know what’s expected and arrival day is just helping out and having fun! It was a really relaxing 4th of July weekend [...]

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 [...]
