Logic would tell you the first few sessions of snowboard camp are they way to go (that snow stuff melts handily during the summer) but in 2009, Session 5 was especially rad. Thanks mostly to the America’s Next Top Pro Model contest, everyone who’s anyone was there. We heard every session five camper got their [...]
Last summer, when High Cascade and Windells snowboard camps got rope tows to access their terrain, it was great news for lazy snowboarders everywhere. Well, ok, mostly lazy snowboarders in the US, since up in BC, the camps have always been lift-accessed. And this year there’s even better news, the number of rope tows accessing [...]
It’s no secret the Skeleton Crew is full of little people, so what else would you expect them to build if they had their way but a mini pipe with fun jibs? Last summer, this is what went down on it at Windells. This year, who knows that will happen!
This video is brought to you [...]
Oh hey, it’s another of our favorite videos from Windell’s video library. The Bonfire Pipe 2 Pipe is a wicked good time as it gives anyone a chance to ride at camp, and win money in the process. In fact, someone from YoBeat may have gotten second at one of them last year (nbd.)
This video [...]
Guess what’s more fun than missing snowboarding during the summer? Going to camp and doing sweet double grabs with your favorite pros, such as went down at last summer’s Rome Team Terror Old School trick off.
Yep, this is brought to you by Windells.
If may be strange to start thinking about summer already, but it’s gonna happen so you might as well be ready. Tell your mom you wanna go to summer camp, and to help convince her, a video from last summer to get you pumped.

Alright kids, the mountain just opened so it’s time to start thinking about what to do this summer! Well, if you can plan that far ahead, this is a pretty sweet deal. You sign up for camp 2010 Summer Camp at Windells and they send you a bunch of stuff you can totally give out [...]
High Cascade might want to give you a free pizza, but Windells is offering several camps this holiday season, which will give you the gift of better snowboard skills. Did we mention the 102 plus inches Mt. Hood has received ALREADY this year? Yeah, it’s good up there.For more info, windells.com
Session Seven at Windells is a wrap and the past week was filled bright skies over the Windells park; the perfect end to a summer up at Mount Hood. The tow rope was ridden, the jump line was lapped and the slushy snow continued to melt beneath the boards of tons of campers who were [...]
Session Five at Windells was the hottest yet, with temps hovering around 80 on the glacier and nearing 100 down at campus. Campers beat the facemelting heat on hill by lapping the tow rope through the jumpline and hanging out on the new Zumiez couch on the Dream Feature. Back on campus, in between concrete [...]

The third and final round of Bonfire’s 12th annual Pipe to Pipe was the best yet. On-hill the snow course was littered with features; down rails, flat bars, boxes, plastic jumps, those bumpy tubes everyone is so into, and a whole slew of other metal objects to slide [...]
Bonfire seems to be realizing, no one cares about amatuer snowboarders. (Even our Public Park videos have been taking some flack lately, so it must be true.) But they’ve solved that issue by talking about all the sweet pros who will be in attendance at the final Pipe 2 Pipe this weekend. Here’s all the [...]
Writing isn’t dead (despite what you may have heard.) In fact, it earned Gabrielle Griffith a trip to Windells Snowboard camp. What did she have to say that was so profound it was worth $1800 (and trust us, we really want to know this part!) Turns out it was touching and selfless. Weird. No wonder [...]
Mr. Windell with Pipe to Pipe snowboarding champ Johnny “Lazz” Lazzareschi after Saturday’s victory.
July is a dangerous time. The young fall to a haze of irresponsibility. A comatose state separated only by visits to Taco Bell, unsuccessful attempts at rounding second, and late night television. Their elders, a.k.a old people, suffer equally. Cursing their [...]
There’s no better place to be in the summer than up at Mount Hood. Windells Session Three just came to a close and it was the definitely the best session so far with great weather and a shrediculous park.
Rome’s Team Terror of Bjorn Leines, Marius Otterstad, Eiki Helgason, Johnnie Paxson and Staale Sandbech took over [...]
The summer snowboard camps on the slopes of Timberline are always battling over something. But this session, its the campers who can prove once and for all which is better by competing in the Bonfire Pipe to Pipe this weekend.
Nah, this isn’t another post about how Windells is giving away a session to the kid who writes the best essay. This is even more press-releasey than that. But hey, it’s got a video!
It’s skateboard season!
Ready and waiting…
Some believe the swivels, tail drags, combos, and the ever common half-assed boardslides are destroying the style and skill that set snowboarding apart from rollerblading and extreme scootering. Thankfully the folks at Bonfire hired Jarad Hadi, Tyler Verigan, and Kevin Stevenson to judge the 12th annual Bonfire Pipe to Pipe. This panel [...]
Just when you thought the only way to snowboard (or watch snowboarding) this summer in a competitive fashion was stupid inner city on beach rail jams, it’s time for the Pipe to Pipe. Three events, snowboarding, skateboarding, and free Ballpark franks that were traded to TWS for those awesome ads on their website! We’re sold. [...]
Is it just us, or does this whole “signature” thing at summer camp sound familiar? Whatever though. Pat Milbery is cool, and creative things to snowboard on are too. And bravo to Windells for making lazy pro snowboarders do some physical labor too! Check out all the info on the new “Signature Features Session” at [...]
We know what you are thinking? When did this site become about plastic surgery? But the BOB is question is not a celebrity, rather Windells Snowboard Camp’s epic indoor skate/bmx facility (Building Out Back.) The Windells crew recently completed construction on the big ol’ park just in time for the spring and summer sessions. Last [...]
What’s cooler than a snowboard contest? A snowboard contest that includes skateboarding. So that makes the Bonfire Pipe to Pipe ok in our books. We just got word that the dates are set and everything is official. Here’s the release.

Summer is just around the corner, and while that means your local hill and life have melted away, we here at Yobeat have great news: summer camps! Snowboard camps on Hood, Whistler, and in countries south of the border not only save snowboarders [...]

Your parents said they’ll do anything to get you out of the house this summer, even put up the money to send you to one of those costly snowboard camps. Fifteen hundred dollars and a plane ticket in hand, you call every camp in North America, only to find no openings. Looks like [...]
