Today was the last on-snow day of session 5 here at Windells Camp and probably the least favorite day for weather since the winds were blowing hard on the mountain making it sunny but cold.  It was a quick day on the mountain, headed up with Izzy’s group, took some laps, had a long lunch [...]

The last couple days have been spent at HCSC for America’s Next Top Pro Model contest which has been so much fun to be able to watch it live and be a part of it.  The last couple days have been so much fun hanging out with the Snowboarder crew and House crew in town [...]

The arrival of Session 5 campers began yesterday with a fun day on campus and today finally hitting the slopes.  It’s going to be a fun weekend with Snowboarder’s Top Model contest going on the next couple days at HCSC but today was lapping the new public park and new Windells revamping of the park. [...]

After spending the last couple days camping with friends and staff, it was great to be back at camp to start out session 5 with arrival day.  Everyone is so stoked to come to camp and to be a part of it, just makes for a fun journey.  I can’t wait to hit up the [...]

Today was the day to rest up, sleep in and finally head to the doctor to find out what’s going on.  Over the past couple days a sore throat and swollen tongue have been bothering me enough to visit the doctor who let me know it’s tonsillitis and prescribed some meds to help me out. [...]

Life is definitely easy when all you think about is snowboarding everyday but unfortunately sometimes other things catch up to you like some kind of allergic reaction.  I’ve not been feeling 100% the last couple days so mountain time has been rougher than usual but I’ve been loving the adult group this week and hanging [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
