Summer is speeding by and another session has come and gone at Mount Hood. After a whirlwind week at Windells, campers hopped into cars and boarded planes with memories of lines in the concrete jungle and laps on the tow-rope.

As is typical in June, Oregon has yet to relent to full-on summer weather, but when the rest of the country is hot and humid, a bit of snow is the best way to beat the heat. Just to round out the wild weather, summer peaked its head through the clouds midweek for a couple of bright, beautiful days and hot laps commenced in the Windells park.

The size of the Windells park continues to drop jaws, now with a 22-foot halfpipe that opened this sessions. Pristine and perfectly cut, the new location of the pipe– at the top of the park– makes it perfect for campers to drop into before hitting the other three tiers of the park.

Pro rider, Will Bateman had a blast during session two and joined the campers and staff in the hot laps. “The park is incredible. It’s way longer than it has ever been and there is just an endless amount of stuff to hit,” said Will.

Session three is up next and the Rome Team is taking over. Laurent-Nicolas Paquin, Marie-France Roy, and Toni Kerkela will be joined by members of the AmArmy as Rome Snowboards Partytime envelops campus.
