					<description><![CDATA[Since 1966, Vans has stood for authenticity in lifestyle, music and action sports through their footwear.  Over the years, the brand has gone through different owners and is now owned by VF Corp.  Under the umbrella lies Pro-Tec which was founded in 1973 and is the original action sports protective gear brand.   The same interests that started the company have continued to grow with the name and the expansion of Vans into clothing, footwear and snowboard gear.  I&#8217;ve owned Vans boots for a decade for their durability and worn their shoes for even longer, every step of the way. It may look like your typical office building from the outside but once you get closer the Vans checkered image is all over the headquarters in Cypress, CA. Upon entering the doors at Vans, a huge Vans photograph greets you with a pleasant reminder of the history behind the company and the development of the brand through the So-Cal skateboarding scene in the 70&#8217;s.  We waited in the lobby for our tour guide, Vans/Pro Tec product developer Jesse For the past 18 years, Vans has utilized their 45 year footwear experience to build snowboard boots that are a reflection of [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Red Bull needs no introduction; the energy drink company makes the most popular energy drink in the world with 4 billion cans sold each year, their name and logo is recognizable and they are one of the biggest non-endemic companies to promote action sports.  Their promotion of a fun and active lifestyle is linked harmoniously to winter sports and action sports.  It&#8217;s quite common to see Red Bull sponsor many of the biggest events, names and movies in snowboarding. The Red Bull North America office is located in Santa Monica, California but you&#8217;d never know just by driving by.  The big brick office building is silent from the outside with any identifying Red Bull logos/titles and you enter through a security gate to gain access into the company. Closer to the building, you get a sneak peak that you&#8217;ve arrived at Red Bull and security greets you pleasantly.  We talked with Security upon arriving and found that they enjoy drinking Red Bull but also that it&#8217;s a great place to work.  Inside we introduced ourselves and while waiting, were told to grab a Red Bull to start the day. Our friend Pat Stahl set up the tour with with Raechel [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[During the off-days at camp most of the camp is quiet as staff and campers are non-existent but the Windells Academy students stay busy with on-snow and off-snow activities.  On Friday the van was loaded up with Academy kids to head to Seattle where K2 Sports is located and were given a tour of the entire operation behind K2.  I was able to tag along on the adventure to see more in depth into the Academy and what experiences they have as students.  Huge thanks to Mike Powell at K2 for giving the tour. Arriving at K2 Snowboards! [singlepic id=9428 w=400 h=300 float=] One of the best things about visiting K2 is the history behind the company which is present all around the offices from the time you enter the building.  They have so much history in skiing/snowboarding that you can walk around just staring at the old photographs &#38; ads forever. [singlepic id=9430 w=400 h=300 float=] Windells Academy student Nick trying out the K2 motorcycle [singlepic id=9437 w=400 h=267 float=] We headed into the warehouse portion of the K2 offices where everything is stored and it&#8217;s massive.  K2 is a huge company with a variety of companies underneath them [&#8230;]]]></description>
