A staple in our camp has passed away.
Mark Stegall was more than a camp coach and parkmanager for MHSSC.
He was an enthusiast of shredding, passing on hisenthusiasm, passion, skills and love for the sport to all who approached.
He gave his personal time to helping others achievewhat they aspired for, and what they feared.
Mark has managed mhssc's park for quite some timenow, and for any of you who ever approached our terrain park on mt hood duringthe summer in search of shredding some features, you know mark was open tooffer if you were willing to dig a little.
He did work his ass of at every corner of our camp.From building our skate ramps, all our park features to driving one camper allthe way to the coast to share some surfing knowledge for a day.
He was a selfless man who gave his heart for ourshredding youth.
Mark was in a terrible boarder cross accident intahoe a few weeks ago, he went home and complained of some back and neck pain.He was found dead in his tahoe apartment days later.
This is devastating to our camp. Our currentfreestyle group will continue to operate a passionate, open-minded terrain parkfor freestyle snowboarders and skiers.
