Windells Snowboard Camp

Windells Pipe
I always enjoy going back to Mt. Hood. Doesn’t matter if we continue to get older because that place makes you feel like a kid. The kind of kid that doesn’t stop until completely asleep in the back of the car on the way home.
I spent 2 sessions at Windells Snowboard Camp guest coaching. Though it was as hot as Hood gets, it was also as good as Hood gets. Windells park, pipe and rails were going off. Kids were going hucktastic into the airbag which was fun to watch and do. Windells added more concrete for the skaters and the dirt jumps for bikes were going off. There was even a mtn bike crew building some crazy ladders that I won’t touch.
In between sessions the surf was going off. The same swell that killed a couple people in southern California was hitting the Oregon coast strong. Short Sands was the best I have ever seen it. A couple other locations were going off and seriously made my summer for me. My wife made it up on the in-between so we went and did a bunch of mtn biking on the way home. On the last night we camped in Bend and a thunderstorm came in hard, Lighting and thunder every 2 seconds. An awesome end to a rad trip!

Hey Andy. I just wanted to say that it was so nice meeting you at Camp Woodward. My children and I had a great experience as we were rookies. Just a reminder….if you and your wife can ever make it here in Idaho, let us know. My husband, children and I will meet you in Sun Valley. It definitely is a beautiful place to snowboard. You can go out with Chase & Crystal and show them a few tricks.
You should look up Sun Valley Resort. Amazing history at that hotel. Hope you had a wonderful reunion w/ your wife. My husband and I will be celebrating out 16th anniv. this weekend. It actually was while we were away at camp. Best of luck w/ the rest of your future. And we hope you keep in touch.
