The Videograss Rail Clinic Goes Down on the Down Bar

Thursday, July 29th, 2010
Videograss downbar contest..

The Mega-Phone was removed from Desiree after geologists warned that amplifying the volume of her natural laughter would set off a rock slide and could perhaps trigger Ye Olde Volcano.

When Laurent Nicolas Paquin (LNP) shreds - it's hard to figure out where his skateboard skills end and his snowboard skills begin. When he takes his shirt off - it's IMPOSSIBLE to tell where his beard ends and his French Canadian chest rug begins.

The mini down bar saw more action than a Vin Diesel film festival yesterday.  Campers shredded it up with some of the best metal workers in the business, as Salomon TM Java Fernandez, Desiree Melancon and Chris Grenier took turns yapping into the mega phone.  Special prizes went out to special moves performed by special people.  All in all it was a very special HCSC moment.

Camper Hams!

While the big dudes were messing around on the calf high down bar, camper Judd Henkus the Fifth was getting busy on this armpit high down bar.

Butter in, butter out, butter back in, butter back out. Can't wait to see what goes down on this sucker.

It’s Session 5 and our snow is holdin up EXTREMELY well.  We still have a 22′ Superpipe.  Our full Main Park and full Lap Park.  IN addition to all of the mainstay features, Every first day on hill for the session we find a few hidden gems up in the park.  Perhaps it’s sleep deprivation induced snowcat creativity, or perhaps our park builders Pat Malendowski and Mike Langdon are just from another Planet.  Either way – it’s always fun to see what they’re cooking up in the snow kitchen.

AUTHORIZED AWESOMEâ„¢: Salomon Wins TWS Team Shoot Out. THIS VIDEO IS BETTER THAN MOST FULL MOVIES!

HCSC Digger Chris Grenier is a horrible security guard. Great actor though.


Stop what you are doing and GO WATCH THIS MOVIE!

It features Signature Sessionerâ„¢ Jed Anderson, HCSC’s 1st Signature Sessionerâ„¢ ever Scotty Arnold, Frenchy Louis-Félix Paradis, HCSC perma-guest Bode Merrill and HCSC Digger Chris Grenier (as a security guard – Chris was hurt) and was made by filmmakers: ex HCSC Session Video Producer Justin Meyer and Pierre Wikberg (who comes from another country).

Congrats boys!  Can’t wait to go shred tomorrow after watching this.

Session 5: The Videograss Session Kicks Off

Tuesday, July 27th, 2010

A High Cascade 15 Passenger Chariot pulling into the Session 5 Stable. Unload bags. Check In. Let the good times roll.

The whole Videograss gang is here for Mikey LeBlanc, Darrell Mathes, Laura Hadar and Desiree Melancon’s Signature Sessionâ„¢. The agenda for the week is looking pretty all time with the Videograss world premier for “Bon Voyage” going down Thursday Night at the High Cascade Theater (shhh! it’s a secret, so please don’t spread the word).

Justin Bennee, LNP, Alex Cantin, the Hacker brothers, Louif Paradise, Johnny Miller, Jordan Mendenhall, Will Tuddenham, Chris Grenier, Harrison Gordon and Nick Dirks are lurking around camp all week putting on special on-hill clinics, activities and more.

Of note: this session is a Signature Sessionâ„¢ Size World Record.

High Cascade's staff ready to get Session 5 rolling

We’re also sooooooooooo psyched that a few long time HCSC family members brought a few groups to camp.  Ex-counselor Mike Ramirez is here with the Mammoth Mountain Snowboard Team and ex-coach Nick Nagel is here with the Winter Park Team.  Plus, a group from the Chill foundation will be our guests this session… it’s going to be a blast.

Snagging a Camper T

Hopefully this guy knew he was awesome before getting a camper shirt at check-in. At least now he has a shirt to prove it.

Sticker Kit

Campers getting their sticker jobs ready for tomorrow: FDOH (that's First Day On Hill to the lay person) - one guy was so excited his face started to blur... but Nurse Greg fixed him.

Cookin' up!

Lead Cook Jake grilling up some shiskabobs at the BBQ. Fresh, local organic food from Mt. Hood Produce in Hood River, OR... No big deal - the K-Unit holds it down.

The Session 5 Gang

This is our 100% snowboarder packed crew! The Session 5 gang seems like an amazing group. Good times guaranteed.

Rock Paper Scissors

Assistant Camp Director Adam Kisiel (aka Kisiel) keeps tabs on perhaps the most heated game of RPS (rock, paper scissors) of the summer. Camper Griffin vs. Signature Sessionerâ„¢ (and HCSC Digger!) Desiree Melancon (Des won!).

Tim's Eddy's Group

You could scour the face of this planet - and you'd be hard pressed to find a better human to spend 8 days of your life with than this man: TIM EDDY. Tim and his coaching group coming up with a game plan for Session 5.
