A D V E R T I S E M E N T Links | Windells Campus BagJumpNew for 2010 - a DrySlope Leading into jumps, launching campers into Windells BagJump. This is being built as we speak on Windells 53 acre Private Campus. It is nice having our own spot, it enables us to continue to grow the camp with the industry, this is something most other camps do not have the advantage to do.  Channels: Snow Windells Camp - 2 New Private Lifts for Summer 2010 YES YES YES YESSSSSSS! Rumors have been buzzing all around the Internet Worlds, should Windells get a second private lift in their private park or is the one good enough? Well It is official, Tim Windell himself called from the Oval Office minutes ago and made the announcment: "WINDELLS CAMP will have a second lift for the Summer of 2010." Windells is once again the first summer shred camp in the history of the world to own, operate and install, two of its very own private rope-tows! The Presidential Camp Week at WindellsDuring winter and spring break, campers experience Windells in a more intimate setting, where the groups really skis like locals. Windells is the place to experience mind-blowing powder days and endless park runs suitable for beginners through Expert. Mt. Hood Meadows,Timberline Ski Area and Mt. Hood Ski Bowl provides easily accessible parks, pipes, natural halfpipes, wind lips,rollers, banks, tree runs, steeps, cornice drops and wide open cruisers. Your coach is your guide to these secret spots, including the best place to build a BC booter to stomp your first backy ever! The indoor park, BOB, is open every evening for campers to skate, bike, jump on the trampoline, transfer from tramp to foam pit or use one of two drop-ins into the foam pit. Combing BOB with the Super Awesome Information Game Lounge, their are so many activities! Campers also have full access to Dex's Demo and Tuning center, stocked with all your favorite 2010 snow, ski, skateboard and BMX gear. "Because winter camps are so much smaller, the entire staff gets to know every camper, it is definitely my favorite camps of the year" Year Round Coach Counselor, Katiah. Mt. Hood Meadows and the Timberline Ski Area are where some of the most advanced riding in the world happens and their parks are among the best in the country. Campers will also have the chance to ride a fully lighted park at Mt. Hood Ski Bowl, America's largest night time resort. Windells has a great relationship with all three local ski areas to ensure a quality riding experience.  Pool Party! Tim Humphreys and the Flow Team build a Dream Feature at WindellsThe weather during Session Six at Windells was bright, sunny, and extraordinarily hot. When it's over 80 degrees on hill, there's only one thing to do: have a pool party! Flow Snowboard's Tim Humphreys, Brandon Reis, Jeremy Thompson and Jake Black were visiting to build their Dream Feature and created The Pool Party, a Dream Feature that brought the beach to the mountain. The Pool Party included mini jumps, Zumiez couch jib, mailbox and more that led into a channel box, with a gap through the channel that went over a sweet, sweet pool. Check out the video to see what a beach day at the mountain is like and check out www.windells.com/blog for more! Session Five wraps up at WindellsSession Five at Windells was the hottest yet, with temps hovering around 80 on the glacier and nearing 100 down at campus. Campers beat the facemelting heat on hill by lapping the tow rope through the jumpline and hanging out on the new Zumiez couch on the Dream Feature. Back on campus, in between concrete jungle skate laps, everyone cooled off on the giant slip and slide in the middle of the courtyard. The Skeleton Crew was at camp for the session to build their Dream Feature. The collective minds of Jed Anderson, Jarad Hadi, Harrison Gordon, Alex Sherman and Tyler Verigan designed a modified mini-pipe, with hits along both sides. The result: tons of lines for everyone to choose from. Fellow Skeleton Crew members, Nick Dirks and Scott Blum joined up to shred the feature, too. Down at Windells the crew skated a ton and handed out Salomon snowboards to campers that won games of roshambo. Really. Making sure the snowshredding action was as hot as the weather, SNOWBOARDER Magazine brought twenty of snowboarding's most talented riders to the Windells park for the inaugural America's Next Top Pro Model. Lauri Heiskari, Pat Moore, Eero Ettala, Marc Frank Montoya, Danny Kass, Eddie Wall and more, competed in back to basics fun events like Highest Ollie and Spin to Win, then auctioned off their pro model boards to stoked out campers back on campus (with all the money going to charity). But, that's not even all! The DC Team made a stop by Windells, too. Chas Guldemond and Jonas Carlson took laps in the park for a few days and then put on the DC Olympics, definitely one of the most memorable events at camp this summer. Round one: the gallon milk challenge. Round two: egg swallowing challenge. Round three: tons of DC snowboards given away to campers. It was an awesome and busy session and Windells and it's going to be another hot and sweaty week for Session Six, so make sure to check www.windells.com/blog for daily updates. |
