The ladies of windells shredding in the Windells Lane
The summer season is here! Blue skies, tons of snow, fresh features, and jump lines for days. What more do you need? After an incredible week with the APO Team, it's easy to say that the good vibes of Session 1 will stick around all summer long. Let's keep it going!
It's definitely a party when the Line Team takes over Windells. The week was full of shenanigans, wild weather, and laps on laps with some of the best skiers in the biz. A little bit of rain wasn't stopping this crew from having the best time at the "funnest" place on earth. Just keeping it mahalo at Windells bro.
With the chill vibes of Inspired Media floating throughout Mt. Hood, you could barely feel the 90 degree heat during Session 3. Tanner Hall and the Inspired crew were slaying the park and stoking out the crowds. Nothing like a massive amount of sun, snow, and giant smiles to set the tone for a killer week. Inspired to the world!
No white tee was left un-dyed after Session 4. Surface does their Team Takeover right! Sunny days, park laps, skating, activities and more activities sums up the midway point of Windells 2013.
Session 5 Level 1 Team Takeover athletes skied from sunup to sundown. The best skiers in the game flocked to Mt. Hood to get a piece of what many said was the best park build of the summer. See for yourself!
As July is ripped off the calendar, we?re still skiing up here on Mt. Hood! There?s no stopping the good times when Freeskier Magazine is in town, and the lines were blurred between working hard and hardly working. Viva Summer 2013!
"Is that Tom Wallisch?" Tom conquered the one and only solo Takeover Session 7, the final week on snow of Windells 2013! Summer skiing may be over, but reliving the best of summer on Mt. Hood is just a click away.
Head digger Trevor Borrelli checks in and the crew starts on an impressive park for Session 1. With the addition of more terrain and some fresh new features, Summer 2014 is not one to miss on Mount Hood.
It's that time of year again! Camp is back in session and everyone couldn't be more stoked. Freeskier Magazine brought Karl Fostvedt, Joss Christensen, and Keri Herman for the Session 1 takeover. When they weren't giving away gear the crew took advantage of Mt. Hood's endless terrain and rode everything down to the last public park rail.
The Newschoolers takeover week was definitely one for the books. We saw everything from Dom Laporte's insane rail maneuvers to Sander Hadley throwing massive backflips. With more and more coaches arriving weekly, the sessions are only getting better. The summer at Windells camp is just heating up.

With a completely redesigned park, there were all kinds of new gaps to find, transitions to be caught, and rails to be slid.
