Windells Session 2: Ski Scene
Windells is known as "The Funnest Place on Earth" and after all of the awesomeness that took place during Session 2 of summer camp, it's clear that their trademark statement is undeniably true. The Newschoolers crew has been holding it down in Hood, and have been bringing us all the goods from camp. Peep the following video to see all the "shredtacular" fun you've been missing out on this summer.

With 13 inches of new snow, menacing clouds, and dense fog, Session 2 had a slow start. Campus was waterlogged from heavy rains, everyone was cold and damp, but thanks to endless activities, energy was at an all time high. Despite the weather, campers, coaches, and guest pros welcomed the flat light with open arms and had no trouble learning new tricks in low visibility and cold temperatures. After a few days of snow and fog, the high alpine conditions cleared up and produced three days of bluebird skies for the end of the session. New tricks were thrown, campers conquered their fears with sunny day courage, and everyone at camp set the tone for the limitless possibilities of Windells Camp.
