CIRCLE RAINBOW!!!!!!!!!
Monday, June 27th, 2011THAT’S RIGHT WE HAD ONE ON HILL TODAY!!!!
Today was also the first time the Session 2™ campers went riding with their coaches, and man they were stoked!!!
The riding today was also amazing. The diggers did an amazing job setting up the park this Session and everything right now is extremely on point!! Check out Tanner McCarty, this is what he does when he’s not setting up your boards in the Demo Center™:
Coach Johnny O’Connor was also shredding off chain! Look at this picture perfect hand-plant. That’s the way you do it everyone, right on the coping!
The off-hill action was also just as on-point. Signature Sessioner™ Elena Hight brought some blank Volcom snowboards for all the campers to design.
These boards are going to be pressed during the Session, and two lucky campers are going to have the chance to win a one of a kind Volcom board! How cool is that!! Check out the dudes creating beautiful works of art!!!
The action didn’t stop at designing graphics though, we also had hardcore extreme dodge ball action!!! Check it out, it was some of the most fierce action we have ever seen! For the first time in HCSC history we had a 1 on 1 final death shoot out!! It was INSANE!!!!!!!!!
It was so crazy that the game was called a draw! No winners or losers at HCSC. Tomorrow is looking to be one for the books, so get pumped and check back tomorrow!!!
Session 2 woooooo hoooooo!!!!!!!!!!
Sunday, June 26th, 2011Well everybody…
The Session 2™ campers have arrived!!
It was a beautiful day today as we welcomed all of the Session 2 campers!
We spent all day saying wassup and greeting each, and every person as they arrived at camp! We had people Checking in:
Grabbing camper T-shirts:
and Making new friends!
After everyone was acquainted, and had all gotten to know one another it was Activity time!! The activities here at HCSC are endless!! We had Skateboarding all day long in our mini-ramps’ and bowls’:
As well as a heavy session on our totally awesome street course. Check out Salomon Snowboards pro, Chris Grenier on this proper backside tailslide.
If skating wasn’t on the top of your agenda today, well then you could have met up with some of your new buds and grabbed a Cobra Dog. That’s what these guys did!
The trampolines and foam-pit were also in full action on this amazingly sunny Arrival Day™.
After ejecting all of the energy that was built up during months of anticipation, it was time to eat a wonderful barbecue, which was prepared by none other then the fabulous K-Unit™!
The Marshmallow™ was even roaming around dinner!!!
Man the Arrival BBQ is always so Awesome™! Once it was finished, it was time to roll on down to the bowls for the all camp Orientation! Session 2 is packed full of radical campers!
During Orientation, all of the campers were told the rules, and they also got to know each other. One lucky camper was picked out of the raffle box
and had to name the person to his left, and the person to his right. Thankfully he paid attention when he introduced himself, because if he didn’t, it would have cost him a pair of brand new Nike snowboard boots!!!
Katrina from Exit also came down and explained the events that they are having this session!
After getting to know everyone, and making 240 new friends, it was time to meet some more friends, the Frends Crew! Danny Davis:

Activity day oh HEY!!!!!!!!!
Monday, June 20th, 2011Today was Activity Day and it ruled!!!!! While some people went snowboarding
other people went on Awesome™ activities!!!!!
The Activities™ that were offered were Paintball, Rafting, and Skate Park Tour. While Rafting, and Paintball are super cool, today we are going to focus on Skate Park Tour..
The Skate Park Tour started off at Hood River.
Hood River is one of the best skate parks ever. Check it out.
Everyone on the trip was skating so hard! So many tricks were thrown down, and it was loads of fun!
After we all jammed out at Hood River, it was time to go across the bridge into Washington! That’s right, at High Cascade we bring our Skate Park Tours all over!! We skated this park for a good hour and it was so much fun!!
The day was really amazing. When we all got back to camp, it was right in time for Dodgeball!!!!!
To top the day off, we all got to see a really cool image of Mt.Hood on the way back. See for yourself!
Those clouds really do look awesome! Activity day is a great day to take advantage of all the other things that the beautiful Northwest has to offer. It’s a good day to take a day off of snowboarding, and recharge your battery’s for the following 3 days of the session!
Demo Center 2011™
Wednesday, June 15th, 2011The Demo Center™ this year is looking stacked! We have unpacked, and set up all of the product, and it’s looking amazing! This summer we have boards from Burton, DC, K2, Capita, Lib-Tech, Gnu, and Bataleon. We, at HCSC, decided it would be a good idea for everyone out there in internet land to get a first hand sneak peak at all of the radical products that have flooded the Demo Center™! And who better to show you all of the radical gear than the staff of HCSC who ride for each of these brands? Well we couldn’t think of anyone better either, so first up is Alex Rodway showing off the new K2 Happy Hour deck:
Man that deck has a really cool shape, and that green is just jaw dropping.
DC’s new decks are also pretty jaw dropping. Look at Tanner McCartyshowing off DC’s new deck, the Focus:
Look at how pumped Tanner is to ride this board! His jaw is literally on the ground! That’s how pumped you will feel when you strap it to your feet too.
Coach Tucker Andrews stopped by to show all of you just how amazing the Lib-Tech TRS deck is:
Man look at him shred that ax. If only he could shred it like he can shred that Lib-Tech TRS deck. Oh man. Speaking of shredding, look at the Capita deck counselor Mike Ravelson is going to be ripping around on this summer.
That’s right, that is the 2012 Capita Ultrafear. Man, that deck looks reallllll good. You can see Rav ride that deck all summer here at HCSC.
We know, we know. You are thinking that there just can’t be anymore awesome decks in the Demo Center™ just waiting for you to try out. But oh man are you wrong. You saw him on the cover of Snowboarder Magazine, now you can see him crushing HCSC’s park on the daily as part of the infamous K-unit. Let Kyle Lopicolo show you how rad next years Bataleon Evil Twin deck really is:
Man that Bataleon board looks “sick”. You know what else is really “sick”? A person with Salmonella? No, no that’s not what we are talking about. Give up, can’t guess it? Well it’s Forum Snowboards, and they are in our Demo Center™ this year. Check out one of the new graphics for the Young blood, being shown by Forum dude, and coach JD Dennis
Burton Snowboards are also back in the mix this summer! Check out the oldest dude known to man, showing off this rad Burton Whammy Bar deck. It’s looking real good!
We know that we just bombarded you with some of the coolest looking boards ever, but we have one left to show you. Check out Max Warbington showing you how awesome the new GNU Street Series deck is.
This deck is so stunning, Max had to keep his shades on.
We hope you all are just as excited about the 2011 Demo Center™ as we are, because this year we have some of the best gear that we have ever had in store. Get ready to try them all out! The Demo Center™ is free for all campers, and there’s no limit to the amount of gear that you can demo! You can ride a new board every single day if you really wanted to!!!!!
Are you ready for a pizza party?!?!?!
Friday, June 10th, 2011That’s right, you heard us correctly. This summer at High Cascade we are going to be having a Pizza Party™ all summer long!!!
Pizza Party ™is the brain child of totally radical guy, and pro shred Tim Eddy, and Unicorn Food™ master Hannah Fuller. We recently sat down with them to find out all of the true dirt about Pizza Party™.
HCSC: So guys what made you both want to start Pizza Party™?
Tim: Well we both love food.
Hannah: A lot. Pretty much our days revolve around what we are going to eat, when we are going to eat it, and how we are going to get it.
Tim: I live to eat. I don’t eat to live. So it was pretty much a no brainier. We had to do something with food.
Hannah: Yeah last year I was running Unicorn Food and realized that it could be something way bigger than just grilled cheeses’. And who doesn’t love pizza? It’s a good vehicle to bring happiness to people.
HCSC; What are both of your favorite types of pizza?
Hannah: Oh that’s so hard! That’s like comparing bananas and apples.
Tim: Well let’s see, my favorite kind of pizza? I love them all!
Hannah: I have never gotten that out of him! We have been on a pizza hunt ever since we knew we were going to start Pizza Party™. We have had every type of pizza you could possibly find. And they are all amazing!
Tim: I mean, I am usually pretty picky about what I eat. Like you know, I try to eat good, quality food, but I even love bad pizza! I will eat any pizza. Frozen pizza, doesn’t even matter.
Hannah: But you wouldn’t eat a frozen corn dog, that’s for sure.
Tim: No, not at all. But a frozen pizza, no question. So i guess our favorite pizza are any types’ of pizza, all pizza.
(This video has nothing to do with HCSC or Pizza Party™, but man is it funny!)
HCSC: What’s the whackiest topping either of you two have ever put on a pizza?
Tim: Well one time we made a mac and pee-za. I took some nice macaroni noodles, and some pees, with a real nice bechamel cream sauce, and some cheese, and we squirted the cheese sauce on top and cooked it. It was a real good, whacky pizza.
HCSC: What makes a pizza party a party, rather than just a pizza meal?
Hannah: Well i guess we could have called it pizza meal?
Tim: The party is in your mouth! It’s not just a pizza meal because it’s a party with your taste buds. Even if you are eating a pizza, sitting just by yourself, you are still partying with your buds, your taste buds.
HCSC: Why is this Pizza Party going to be better then any other pizza party this world has ever seen?
Hannah: Well for the record, we did not claim that, but since you asked it’s going to be the best because we actually care about what we are doing. We are getting local ingredients. We are supporting local businesses. We are using all natural, nitrate-free peperoni, that we get locally.
Tim: We are going to be making all of our dough from scratch, as well as all of our sauce. We are also grilling all of our pizzas. That’s the way that we have been making our pizzas for a long time, but I feel like that’s a new way to make a pizza for a bunch of people. It’s going to be something original for a bunch of people. Basically this pizza is going to taste good!
