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!

That’s right, we said it! Today was the most action packed Activity Day™ that we’ve had all summer. On hill, Signature Sessioner™ Pat Moore

was putting on a proper hand-plant clinic with Campers, giving out awesome prizes for awesome plants.

Pat is a hand-plant wizard.

Campers got totally awesome gear from Volcom, Electric, and Eastern Boarder. They were so hyped!

The Bag Jump was also going off today! Imagine trying any trick you could ever imagine, and having absolutely no consequences at all if you fell. Are you imagining that? Because that’s exactly what hitting the Bag Jump is like!

All of the action on-hill was just the tip of the ice berg though. So much stuff happened off hill that it was almost too exciting to even comprehend! Campers went on a skatepark tour to Battlegrounds skatepark in Battlegrounds, Washington. The Battlegrounds park is seriously one of the best skateparks in the North West. It’s so much fun! The Campers were ripping the park up too!

But the action didn’t stop with the skatepark tour, oh no. We also had a extreme game of dodge ball today! The Campers side was hungry and really wanted to stack the W

But they were no match for the sheer talent, and determination of the Staff team!

The final count ended up being Staff 2, Campers 2. Close, but no cigar Campers. Maybe next time. That was almost all of the excitement today, but we still had one more, giant, event to cap off the evening. We still had the world famous Staff Sale™!
The Staff Sale™ is crazy. Once a session, the street course turns into a Moroccan bizarre, and the craziest haggling you could ever imagine happens. Campers can walk away with perfectly good snowboards for 40 dollars!

Tomorrow should be just as action packed! We have the Marshmallow Money Cup™ skateboard contest, as well as our world famous Talent Show™. So we doubt you want to miss out on all of the action!

Well these photos from High Cascade staff Photographers Greg Furey and Owen Ringwall will surely cure your fix real nice.

Those photo’s were Greg’s, and these are Owen’s.

Imagine getting your photo taken by some of our staff photographers? Man that would be awesome™! Well it could happen, all you have to do is sign up for the Photo Shoot Option™! You pick the obstacle, shred it, and we do all the rest!

Also for your Session 2 cravings, here is a little video of the Session 2 Signature Sessioners™ The Frends crew ,skating our amazing bowls and mini ramps. These guys just ripped up our 15,000 sq feet of rolling transitions. Check it!

This video was made by Session 2 camper Nicho. Thanks for the video!!!!

Session 3 starts tomorrow! Hope everyone is as pumped as we are. It’s going to be Awesome™!

Today, at High Cascade Snowboard Camp, we had a momentous occasion! Today was the first, and probably, the only time that we ever had a scooter division in the Marshmallow Money Cup™ aka The Contest Formally Known as the Huckleberry Jam™. While the skateboard contest was extremely heated, and intense:

It was actually the scooter division that stole the show! These guys were high flying, and man, they were not messing around at all! Serious action, let us just tell you. It was nothing to scoff at! Look for yourself!

After the contest was all said and done, it was Max, who came out and took the big W. Here he is with Kevin Pearce and Mason Aguirre. He was pumped!

In the end, it came down to one trick, and one trick only to take the win. The infamous double tail whip over the Euro Gap was all that was needed to cinch first place in the 1st annual “Gabe Scooter Division” in the Marshmallow Money Cup™ aka The Contest Formally Know as the Huckleberry Jam™. It was totally insane! Just watch!

We also had our Talent Show™ tonight! Man, campers these days are just so talented!

If you can’t tell what that is, that’s a super crazy yo-yo trick.

This guy’s talent is finding the most ballerest hat at the thrift store ever!

These guy’s did the “Bernie” in these wild animal masks! Wild Style “Bernie”!

The “Bernie” made two appearances during tonight’s talent show. This might have been the biggest one yet this summer! All camp Bernie’s really are hilarious!

These events are both all camp events, where all the campers, and the staff all come together. It really is awesome to see everyone all in one place having tons of fun!

Tomorrow is our last day on hill for Session 2™ and it’s guaranteed to be amazing!

As much as we love snowboarding here at High Cascade Snowboard Camp, we also love skateboarding!!! Today we had an All Girls Skate™ activity! All Girls Skate™ is a really fantastic place for girls at camp to meet up and skate without all of the pressure of the guys hanging around. It doesn’t matter if you’re a really good skater, or if you are a total beginner, All Girls Skate™ is nothing but a really great time! Look at how awesome™ it was today!

After All Girls Skate™ was over, the skating got mixed gendered. Coach Ben Ross came down and put a hurting on the big bowl. Watch the footage to see what we are talking about.

A ton of other really cool activities also happen today! We had a HCSC exclusive, Shoe Golf™!!!! Coach Kyle Fisher invented this wild and crazy game last summer. Just think of it as Frisbee golf, but instead of throwing a disk, you are flinging your shoe.



Airblaster also hosted a scavenger hunt this afternoon. Campers were rummaging throughout the entire town of Government Camp looking for answers to all of the clues that Airblaster gave them!



The winners were the ones who found all of the answers to the clues off the treasure map. These three guys were the victors, and for their troubles they all received awesome Airblaster outerwear!

While the Airblaster scavenger hunt was happening, Salomon dropped by to host a bleach art activity. Campers were all given Salomon t shirts and were show how to bleach art.

What you do is place items on the t-shirt that you want to trace, spray the bleach, and viola! You have a brand new, custom t-shirt!

It’s always awesome to see just how fun the off-hill activities can really be! Sometimes it’s easy to forget that there’s so much more to HCSC then just the amazingly awesome snowboarding that we have!! Check back tomorrow to see all of the awesome stuff that happens on Day 4 of Session 2™!!!!!

Well 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:

Mason Aguirre:

Luke Mitrani:

Big things happened today at High Cascade Snowboard Camp!!! First of all, it was the sunniest day of the summer. We know that’s not saying much, since it’s only day two on-hill, but boy was it nice to be out in the sun!! Check out how awesome the hill looked today!!

In this photo right here we have K-Unit extraordinaire Kyle Lopiccolo. Man can that dude boost.

Also Signature Sessioner™ Scott Stevens was up on hill doing crazy things over the hip. Scott is one of the most creative snowboarders out there, hands down.

Today was also an exciting day because our Bag Jump opened up today!!!

Check out Camp Director Preston Strout getting inverted on the Bag Jump. What other camp director do you know who can shred that hard?

Adult Camp™ was also on hill today, soaking up rays.

If you are over 21, and you love snowboarding, then Adult Camp™ is for you. You are never too old for Adult Camp™, and you can always make new friends!

After snowboarding today Salomon and Bonfire showed up and hosted a skate park relay race. Campers raced in relay around the street course with suite cases filled with funny clothes. The first team to get all of their members back with funny clothes on won, easy as that. Check out a few photos we snapped of the action!


Signature Sessioner™ Chris Grenier got in on some of the action too

We also went skateboarding today! We had some serious action from Campers,

Hopefully tomorrow is just as awesome today! We have big things planned for tomorrow! You are going to have to check back to see what we mean!!!

It was just like the Ice Cube song.
The day started out with all of the Campers meeting their Coaches out on the street course. After that it was Snowboard time!!!! All of the groups headed up to the top of the Magic Mile at Timberline, on beautiful Mt.Hood, and then proceeded down to our 2 Private Parks!!!

The snow right now is absolutely amazing, and the snowboarding today was just insane! Just look at this photo of Coach Kyle Fischer, and remember it’s only day one of the summer!!!

The Signature Sessioners™ were also all out shredding as well today. One Signature Sessioner™ who was killing it especially hard was Jed Anderson. He is a snowboard obstacle destroyer!!

But the on-hill day portion of the day was only the beginning as to why today was a Good Day. Today was also totally radical because today was the grand opening of Pizza Party!!!!

Pizza Party is run by K2 rider Tim Eddy

and Hannah Fuller, and man do they make some delicious ‘za! Take a look!

No customer was left unsatisfied. Just look at Devin:

He was Pizza Party’s number 1 customer, and he was pumped!!

Now everything we have just talked about is totally cool and all, but if you think just Shredding, and the opening of Pizza Party is all that made today a Good Day, a Good Day, then man you have another thing coming buddy. Today was also a Good Day because the Capita Snowboards Super Team came by the High Cascade street course to give all the HCSC campers a very special auto-graph signing.

Capita’s entire team was there, and that includes Jess Kimura, Andrew Burns, Phil Jacques, Dan Brisse, Laura Hadar, Brenden Cocard, Cale Zima, and Scott Stevens. Man that’s a lot of pros!!!

There was also tie-dying today

waxing,
trampolines,
skateboarding,
and…
DODGEBALL!!!!!!!

Man, today really was just a Good Day. It was so good that we here at HCSC are just wiped out and really have to get some sleep!!! We have to rest up and get ready for some more amazing things that are bound to happen tomorrow. So check back and see what other amazing things happen at High Cascade Snowboard Camp!

The crew from Salomon and Bonfire came through once again with a stellar slalom course weaving through the High Cascade skate park and lots of sweet prizes for the big event. It was an amazing showing of speed, skating, skill and lots of fun for everyone participating or looking on.
