Is it worth going even if im not that good really, i mean i can slide rails, 270 out and do like 360 tails off jumps i know thats really just average so would it still be worth it?

Plz dont flame me cuz im not good just gimme some tips if its worth going this year or no.

you get to shred hood in the summer, buy tons of the freshest gear you don't need for cheap, learn new tricks, play in bob all day and hit on packs of 15 year old girl pro-hos...course it's worth it if you are willing to pay

it's worth 2grand alone just to watch Tommy get stoked in his shades and lakes jersey everyday


if you can 270 out then you're already better than most campers . killlllin it

I think it is 50 -60 for the public park. You just need a lift ticket but you could probably get on without one if you snuck in with some campers. You don't need a separate pass for the public park though

word on the street is that hood might not have a public park next year.. high cascade bought the lane..  just something to check out before you book travel plans..

yeah that sounds really unpractical because there are a lot more people that ride the public park then go to camps.

Dude i live at hood, and have never been to windells,, but my friends and i always poach thier park and talk to all the pros and its way tight.. you get like one on one and get to see pros throw down thier best.. just being around those guys will make you want go do something that will probably get you hurt.. on top of that the town you stay at, govy, is fucking sick in the evening, we just go up and chill there all day.. if you can get the money DO ITi promise you will get better and it will be sick

I'm not too hot on the idea of hiking but i dont have the dough for COC this year so I think windells might be it this year.

The rumor about the public park is true. High cascade is taking over that vein for the summer. The public park will remain on the mile just like always on Otto Lang until the snow runs out over there. I'm thinking this year it will be well into July. Then the park will be consolodated to the pipe area and mile canyon just below the pipe, just like the good old days.
And to clarify no one up here buys hill space. Timberline did not sell anything to HCSC. The space is aloted solely by ticket sales.
