Hailing from the twin cities, this midwest kid has been on everyone’s radar all season long. Justin Fronius, otherwise known as Froni, is one of our infamous diggers that calls Windells home in the summertime. For the other 9 months out of the year, he is working for the city and searching for the next [...]
Curtis and Arbor teammate, Nick Visconti, gave out an Arbor snowboard to the camper that helped clean up campus by picking up the most trash. Shredding green! Curtis Woodman hosted a session at Windells for the first time last year and it was only a matter of days before he was a full-fledged member of [...]
We live in the Northwest. It rains in the spring time. It might be a little too wet in the city for some but the high level of precipitation is good for one thing: snow, and lots of it! April brought spring snow to Mt. Hood. Windells Academy students were hyped to get a powder [...]

Now, obviously we are excited for the warm weather and loads of sunshine, but most importantly we are counting down the days until the Surface team takes over campus! The crew is gearing up for another [...]
You know a good teaser when you see one. After clicking play, your face subconsciously inches closer to the monitor, your mouth hangs slightly open and your eyelids cease to function as they should. By the end, you’ve found yourself in a trance-like state and the only thing you can do is share the link [...]
Dylan Dragotta is one of our favorite people out there. Dylan, who’s been really busy this year filming for Keep the Change’s new movie, hails from the great state of New Hampshire and first came to Windells a few years ago as an adult camper, when he won a session in a snowboard contest in [...]

Ahh, the Concrete Jungle. Our favorite place to hang out after riding all day. The spine connecting the mini ramps, the vert wall, the whoops everywhere that are perfect for beginner or professional. It’s one of the most fun skateparks in the world, for sure. The best part about the Concrete Jungle is that you [...]
This week we had a chance to catch up with Yawgoon, Loonatic, and snowboard coach Mary Rand. For those of you who don?t know, Mary is on another level. She throws down with the best of them, making the East Coast and all lady rippers proud. Fresh out of Alaska, Mary took some time to [...]

It’s been a warm season for most of North America. Even in February, it was difficult to think snow when in most front yards and street corners, there was a complete absence of anything white and fluffy (except maybe you’re neighbor’s dog). This winter definitely felt like summer. I mean, in the Northeast in March [...]
Here’s a question for you. If a pound of feathers and a pound of bricks are dropped from a balcony at the same time, which will fall faster? Don’t know? Don’t care? Sounds like summer is just around the corner! Six weeks until you can trade your pencils and notebooks for sunscreen and airbags. Until [...]
  p: evergreenskateparks Over the past year, Instagram has infiltrated our daily lives. Pictures, comments, likes, followers–we’re not complaining, it’s one of our not-so-guilty pleasures to scroll through our feed and see what cool things our friends take photos of every day. Besides being a very good way to pass the time while waiting in [...]
Ok, exciting newsflash: Session 1 of summer 2012 is only seven weeks away. Ok, that may seem like a long ways away, but it’s not. That’s less than two months. Less than a quarter of school. Barely time between vacations at work. Not even enough time to earn significant interest on your savings account. It’s [...]
We were lucky enough to get to meet some of the crew from Isenseven last year when Pleasure Magazine came to camp during the month of July. This group of European riders, filmers, photographers, and writers was so awesome to have at camp. They shredded the on hill park and exhibited their skills off the [...]
Camp is only two months away and our anticipation of summer laps in the Windells park is growing every day. We can’t wait to take the tow ropes up the park for laps and laps and laps! We can’t wait to demo 2013 snowboards, boots, and bindings from the Demo Lab! We can’t wait to [...]
