Windells Session 5, 2012

You should not go to Windells and instead give me half of the money you'd use for that so I can pay rent and buy beer.
 
Actually I'm just wondering what the "format" for coaches is.

Like, if you're up at the mountain with your group or however it's structured, can you talk to other group members and coaches?

Let's say I had Steve for a coach, but I wanted to learn hippy killers, could I talk to you about it and chill with your group if you were teaching the trick to some kids? Or are the groups locked into eachother?
 
You can talk and ski with anyone you want to.

If you want to learn a trick then you can go with another coach for a bit. If you want to ski the lane for a while with your friends your more then welcome to do that.

I like how I'm in your sig hahaha
 
me...i want to know all of the coaches so i can request one. anyone know where you can get a list of the coaches for that session?
 
na us coaches live at the arc which is an abandoned hotel its kinda rundown

but we get payed shit ton amounts of money every summer from tim windell so it doesn't matter
 
I can't figure out how...

I checked my registration on the Windells site and the only options are to request "coaching buddies" and "rooming buddies." Do I have to call the Windell's offices or am I missing something?
 
what "ability level" are u coaching? if ur coaching a certain level and the level i write isnt that yet i still request u will they listen?
 
oh ok...how was the intermediate level? like u and ur group were how good? i just want to be in a group simlilar to me so that i can have the best learning environment..i also have friends going so im gonna shred with them some of the time too
 
So pretty much I've come to the conclusion Ses. 5 is going to be the best of the year and has all the NS kids going to it which will be rad. Looking forward to meeting some of you out there.
 
So I read up on the "camper packing list," but I still have some questions about clothing/sleeping arrangements/activities

So obviously I'll bring enough clothing for off hill.

ON Hill, should 2 hoodies with a few extra under layers be alright? I mean are my sweatshirts going to be getting soaked or what?

For sleeping, it says to bring a sleeping bad, fitted sheet and pillow, is that necessary? A sleeping bag is kind of big, but if you need it i guess its whatever.

As for activities, I skateboard, but im not really sure i wanna lug a board across the country when im going to ski. Is there going to be a lot of down time were i'll want my deck?
 
2 hoodies with layers underneath will be more than enough. Of course it's Hood so you never know exactly how the weather will turn out, but I would say that on the windiest of days in July I've always been set with one or two T-shirts, a hoodie, and my shell. On a sunny day without wind, I would recommend starting with a t-shirt, hoodie, and shell, but know that you'll most likely be losing layers as the day goes on. A T-shirt and shell without a hoodie will be a good combo because you won't be too warm but you also won't stay soaked if you fall.

As for the sleeping stuff, it's up to you. I think when I was a camper I would bring either a sleeping bag or a couple thin blankets, that's it. The cabins are pretty warm and if you get cold you can just throw on a layer. I always just wadded up a hoodie or something for a pillow. Not the most comfortable but it worked.

You will have a lot of downtime at camp after skiing. My friends and I would skate all the time after coming back from the hill, so I recommend bringing your deck if skating is something you enjoy.
 
Thanks a ton Will, you're the man.

Also wondering about spending money? I don't think I'll need much, but should i bring a few hundred bucks just in case?
 
I don't remember how the shop works, but I guess you may want some money for that. Make sure you bring a water bottle so you can avoid spending $3 for a powerade or something in the lodge. And yes, bring cash for the staff sale. I never found myself spending more than a couple hundred at most at Windells, but some campers spend ridiculous amounts.
