umm windels was sick, but you have hike and stuff. whcih i just htink is a waste of energy. they also didnt have that much stuff, then again it was in augst. so its a toss up. windells was sick though. but id almost rather go somewhere else.

i have a feeling he doesnt really care. they are about he same distance anyway...

but yeah high cascade=all snowboarding, so basically you HAVE to go to windells.

high cascade looked sooo sick this year. lots of nice rails and alright jumps. you can also lap their park which is serviced my a lift. windells is a lot of hiking but a pretty dope park (its worth it). they have some dooooope jumps. HCCs location in govy is a lot better than windells. windells is a good 15-20 mins away from the hill whereas HCC is right t the base of the timberline access road. i dunno. its all personal preference i guess.

k first. hcsc doesnt have their own park lift. you hik just like windells. but it is alot easier to hit the entire park, pipe, jumps and all, and take a lap, instead of hiking all the way back up jumps. but the galceir lift closes at 1pm anyways so its all hiking after that.
second, hcSc is an all snowboard camp, just so were clear...no skiiers allowed.
and their setup this year was awesome...flatrail ontop of butter box whaaaaaat

Windells' park really sucks compared to High Cascade, plus if you go to high cascade you can shred it with all those crazy japanese shredders!

High Cascade, it has lifts and sick parks.  I think it costs a bit more though.

Mt Hood Summer Ski Camp!

- A 34 year old manchild got tasered and arrested there last year

- they have 1 trampoline, that used to have no pads, but then a kid broke his femur..

- they overbook their camp so all the older kids live in govy- with zero supervision so you can roam around and pan handle beer from drunk gypsies and watch them get in epic fights

- the park is actually legit, and if you get bored theres always public, or poaching

so yeah, mt hood summer sketch camp is way to go
