wait till camps get over and the mile park will be fun as you will be able to lap it instead of hiking. Their is always kind of that awkward period from like July 15-whenever camps end, as you basically have to hike the park. A lot of work to maintain due to the heat/snow melt. If youre a die hard skier I say go up there and try it for the experience. But don't have any miraculous expectations as skiing in the summer is nothing like skiing in the middle of the winter...

Noticed a few rails from High Cascade in the most recent footage. Kind of ironic, since Windells banned snowboarding in their lane a few summers ago.

Also, can anyone tell me why Windells features rails from places in Wisconsin and the North East? Like, what?
Does Trollhaugen ship them that rail and then have it shipped back after the summer, or is that a permanent feature on Hood that just has the Trollhaugen logo on it?

the classic Loon creeper rail, Troll waterfall, etc all stay at Hood, they aren't shipped in. They're just branded/built the exact same as the ones they are based off of. I grew up sliding the Loon creeper rail and when I saw the one at HC in person it looked exactly the same

Skiers have always been poaching the High Cascades features (unless they purposely put them in the windells lane. I've heard some crazy tales about it staff/boarders getting pretty upset about it. Don't get caught, as one lad got tackled and jumped pretty bad I heard.

Make's sense. I've wondered about that for a while so thanks for the response.
Doesn't Loon have a High Casade rail and Sugarbush has a Windells rail? Makes sense that is just advertising. I wonder what those resorts pay or trade each other for that kind of thing.

They for sure poach High Cascade. Plenty of shots in old hood crew edits of them sliding High Cascade rails. That's pretty lame that people would actually care about that.... if I was out there living that life I'd be chilling so hard

Loon has had a HCSC blue tube for 5+ seasons, best trick that's ever gone down on it IMO at 1:30 in this edit [video]https://vimeo.com/38340002[/video]

They share one campus and park they are "separate" but not really

Yeah so we're in the process of merging camps. A few years ago when We Are Camp took over, they branded each sport separately(what you're referring to as banning haha), and they will continue to be branded separately. However, the facilities both on and off hill will be shared. All Windells and HCSC campers will live down at the Welches(windells) campus.
This past session there was no HCSC session 6 up in govy. All snowboard campers stayed down here at Windells. As part of this, we consolidated the parks! This is why you've been seeing skiers hit all the classic HCSC rails! The same will be true for all of camp next year.

Wow neato so they live and ride at the same place and owned by the same company. Almost kinda sounds like the same camp.

seriously I'm so grateful for living in Oregon, but its weird a lot of people come here for the summers and let their egos take over...

Reallly mellow. 2 small jumps, and a little hip after. The left pipe wall down below, and some rails where the flat bottom would be if the right wall existed. The crew was placing more rails today up by the jumps. The rails are super low atm but will melt out.. seems to be a work in progress but vibes are, of course, all time.
