It’s Missile Time, Baby!!!!!

Tuesday, July 12th, 2011

Today on hill it was all about the DC Missile. This awesome feature used to be at the world famous DC Mountain Lab, before it’s untimely demise. However since the Mountain Lab is no more, the missile is now in our park, and it got absolutely annihilated today. Check out Coach Eric Beauchemin and Demo guy Tanner McCarty, and see how they put a real hurting on the missile. WMD, we think not. It was more like a bunch of SCMD’s™ (shredders causing massive destruction).



The missile however was not the only feature getting slaughtered today. The quarter-pipe was also getting plenty of action. Check out the man behind the Ham Van, Skylar Brent, throwing down a mean hand plant!

The Log on top of the quarter-pipe was also shredded so hard today that it started to splinter up. OK, so it didn’t really start to splinter up, but some totally awesome tricks were done on it today!

Off the mountain we also had some amazing things go down. Today we made HCSC history. How did we make history you ask? Well today we had our very first, High Cascade Jousting Tournament! Campers of all ages came down to see just how truly amazing HCSC jousting really is. It’s so much fun! Just check it out for yourself!

Even Signature Sessioner™ Pat Moore got in on the action!

And no, he definitely did not win!

The winners of the first ever HCSC Jousting Tournament were so pumped! They got awesome prizes from Electric, Four Square, Eastern Boarder, and Under Armour!

The Jousting Tournament wasn’t the only first that we had at HCSC today though. We also had our first sailing expedition in the lake today. Signature Sessioners™ Austin Smith, and Curtis Ciszek brought their Hobie Cat Sail Boats and set off onto the open lake with a bunch of campers. Counselor Chelsea captured the images. Thanks Chelsea!



After jousting and sailing, it was time for the world famous Marshmallow Money Cup™, aka The Contest Formally Known as the Huckleberry Jam™. This contest was one of the most fierce skate contests the HCSC street course had ever seen!

These campers tore up the 15,000 sq foot street course like it was nothing! They were absolute skateboard animals. It was out of this world. Just look for yourself.

The crowd of campers went absolutely wild for this sessions Marshmallow Money Cup™!

And in the end, it was this handful of amazingly talented skaters who took home the top prizes in all of the different divisions. We had beginner, girls, intermediate, and advanced divisions. They all got amazing prizes, and the winner from the advanced group took home a brand new Skate Mental deck from Eastern Boarder.

After skating in such an intense competition, there really is no better way to cool off than with an awesome camp fire and some delicious s’mores!

Tomorrow it’s the LDOH™ (last day on hill) for Session 3, and it’s guaranteed to be an awesome one. So check back and see what kind of action goes down!

Air Bags & Foam Pits: Better than Broken Glass and Snake Pits

Thursday, January 6th, 2011

Last summer we added an on-hill Air Bag courtesy of The DC Mtn. Lab and an insane off-hill foam pit (foam blocks enhanced by K2 Snowboarding’s “Harshmellow” technology).  Come join us this summer and do some soft jumping.

Here are 3 things that Foam Pits and Air Bags are way better than to jump into:

1.) A Snake Pit.

Not that rad.  Think about it.  Sure, it might be marginally soft and would remind you of Cobra Dogs, but you’re jumping into a pile of fangs.  Even if the snakes weren’t poisonous, the disgusting factor alone is enough to make you wind up in a mental hospital.

2.) A Pile of Broken Recycling Glass

Jumping into the Green Movement is great, but this would be taking things a bit too far.  If the massive lacerations and embedded glass shards are enough to wreck your day – then think about how bad it would sting if even just one of those broken bottles once held lemon juice.  Ahhhhhh!

3.) A Bunch of Puppies

We’d all love to be in a pile of cute little puppies (right?).  Their big round eyes melting your heart and their playful nips keeping you giggling.  The problem here is your entrance.  You need to ease into a pile of puppies, you DO NOT JUMP.  We repeat YOU DO NOT JUMP.   If you hurt even one of those little guys and had to explain what happened to the vet… well, good luck having that one on your conscience.

Check out a quick look at the Foam Pit:

NEW: We’re adding a Foam Pit!

Wednesday, April 21st, 2010

There's nothing softer than a Marshmallow jumping into a foam pit. Nothing.

You asked for it, we’re delivering.  Last summer’s most popular request was an off-hill foam pit for launching into. As such, the newest addition to Trampoline Land is currently under construction. Launch tramp, launch ramp or joust – the choice is yours.

The Marshmallow is our beloved mascot
