Mt. Hood OR - The Best Place On Earth. Ever.

I wanted to save this post for last because Mt. Hood is a place I have never been but have ALWAYS wanted to go. Ever since I discovered there was such thing as glacier boarding (I was 16 years old and moved to Whistler for the summer) I have wanted to go to camp at Mt. Hood. Almost 10 years later and I'm still yet to visit Oregon mountains. I did however drive nearby the mountain at sunset and take some pictures, not enough. There are a number of snowboard camp on Timblerline but two that stand out in particular are High Cascade Snowboard Camp (HCSC) and Windells. I plan to visit these camps for the last session this summer which is the first week of August. I can't wait! The campers all stay in a small town called Government Camp where they can skate, play dodgeball and other activities. My most favourite hotdog stand of all time, Cobra Dogs is right there for your wiener eating pleasures. There are a number of pros who ride these camps and have full sessions dedicated to them so the kids have a chance to ride with the pros and hang out with them off hill.

Windells is in full force this summer with one of the longest and largest parks to date. The diggers are keeping everything fresh and the coaches are teaching kids new moves all day long. Summer is here.
