I went to Windells last year as an adult. I have to say, I think its probably even more fun to go as an adult, than as a kid. I thnk there was a party in the adult-only housing every night. They have special trips and activities geared strictly to the adult campers. While most adult campers are in college, Eddie Wall's dad is camper every season, so it's a wide range of people. I definitely want to go back again.

uhhh fuck that son, i wont ever be pro or probably ever even sponsored.  I've been to a summer camp twice and it was sick as fuck, i want to go back.
It's the only place where you can get coached by real badass people, meet some badass people and ski badass park.  Yea you might not be as good as a pro, but when you go back to your home mountain you will be alot better than everyone there and can enter in contests and shit.  Hell, i love just throwing down sick tricks, i dont care if anyone ever even sees them.  I like to explore the limits of my abilities, it feels good.  Plus, if you can throw down sick shit, you can impress the hot ladies if they are around and that is never a bad thing. :)

I disagree. I have no hopes of ever going pro, and I still think it was an awesome week. What better way to spend a week during the summer than to go skiing? I would guess that the majority of kids there were going because it's "the funnest place on earth," they love going skiing or snowboarding and not because they dreamt of going pro. That said, there is some really amazing talent there too.

I know this was made for young snowboarders, but this video gives you some idea of what Windells and hood is like during the summer.

you're a bitch.

skiing is aboiut having fun and improving and if skiing in the summer helps. Then its a good use of money.

Having fun and a good time isnt a waste of money in my view.
