Jun 7, 2008, 08-09 PacSun Snowboard Team Fired Up and Getting Things Started
Today, 4 members of the newly appointed PacSun Snowboard Team and I had our first riping day on the hill together here at Mt Hood. The riders including Broc Waring, Brett Esser, Fay Gulini and Molly Wilson had a blast riding fresh snow in June. Slush pow, freeriding and some fun little jumps and tree runs were a great start to what we hope will be a productive week. Tonight we will be joined by other PacSun Team riders Kelly Marren and Derek Johnson.

Day 2
Today, everyone on Mt. Hood was blessed with an amazing blue sky and conditions to make the pickiest of riders rejoice. The entire group had a great time riding halfpipe and seshing the jumps of the public park, while the Windells crew worked hard to complete work on the camp facility which had been buried by the new snow and wind of previous days. It was a perfect day of riding. Chris Owen, an incredible and decorated photographer was working with us as well and USASA director Jason Toutolmin. The energy was amazing and the kids were flying. Follow the link below to check out some of the great action.

Monday and Tuesday, June 9th and 10th
Day 3 & 4
As is often the case in the Mt Hood area, the month of June has brought spring snow, rain, wind and low laying clouds that made riding on the 3rd and 4th days impossible, or at least, undesirable. So, we spent our time getting individual portraits of the riders taken, skating in BOB, going to the movies, stretching, going to Portland for a little mall action and even a great Greek dinner in the city center. The weather forcast for the next 2 days, which are sadly our last 2 days of camp, is looking bright. More sun, stability returning to the area and even warm temps are on the way. So we are excited and going to bed early. Tomorrow will bring more action on the hill and another chance to raise the bar, and to get the shot.

The end of a great winter
Wow, It has been a great season of riding, competition and lots and lots of snow. Everywhere we went, there it was, lots of snow. However, it did not slow down the progression of riding. I was proud to see many young snowboarders stepping up and riding at new levels. Thanks to all the riders. teams and coaches who made it such a great season!!
