Hopefully you will all have an amazing time at Windells this summer. I am going up for my first summer coaching at windells I will be there from session 2-6. We have a very good crew of coaches for this summer and Im excited to be working with all of them and all of you guys. Its gonna be a good summer. Just come to camp with a good attitude and be ready to work hard everyday cause ultimately it is up to you if you want to get better or not so be ready to be pushed by all of us.
heres some info on elevation: lodge=6000', top of palmer=8500'. altitude is not a big deal even at the 8500' level. i live at about 100' asl and i never have problems hiking stuff. you feel tired a bit faster but its not bad at all
ive been at liek 6500' before and its a lot different than 100' trust me lolol i get so dizzy so fast its rediculous... i like at like 150' to
drink water its a good idea
hmmm. maybe you have a low rbc or something. you really shouldnt get dizzy at 6500'. i was born on the ec and ive lived all my life near sea level but i never feel the effects of altitude until i get to about 8000-8500'...
im from the east, but spend quite a bit of time out west and at higher elevation, so i hardly feel it even at 8,000 feet, and only a little bit at 9,000
so sesh 6 is the surface/skullcandy colab week where they introduce the new line of skis and headphones... supposed to be a big party on the 30th to its gunna b sick... hope we all can grab some new gear from them 2
yea same here bro... its gunna b fun though and there park looks wicked dope which is good.... i just want to learn and meet some other sick ns'ers... and be stoked the whole time obviously
pumped out of my mind 16 more days, the only thing thats going to be weird for me is that my plane stops in texas and im going to be walking around with my ski bag and ski boots, but whatever i will get through it
the first time i went to windells, i got stuck in the chicago airport for 5 hours by myself. my connecting flight left 20 mins early and they left without 5 people, one of them being me. I just skated on the moving walkways haha
i hoep that doesnt happen this year... i skied when it was 85 out once at loon in some freak thing in march and it was fun but man there were no jumps up 2 rails by like 11 30
but it was my bets day of the year since i finally got tail 3's down =)
