The Marshmallow dropped by High Cascade this morning and had one of the greatest ideas for making summer 2013 even more awesome. He was saying that when he’s not spending his time dropping marshmallow sized hammers in one of our two private parks, he likes to mix it up with some hot laps on Mt. Hood’s 2 miles of top-to-bottom runs.
With that we bring you High Cascade Freeride™ – our all new program with the same great experience of High Cascade Youth and Adult camps, designed to coach campers to be the best possible all-around riders they can be. This can be anything from edge control, body positioning, and turning all the way to making fast turns and utilizing natural terrain as a way to have more fun and be a better snowboarder.
Want to also include some of HCSC’s amazing freestyle terrain? We’ve got you covered! HCSC’s Freeride™ coaching groups can ride our private Lap Park thats fully accessible from high-speed quads and runs you’ll be freeriding all day. You’ll get all the air time you want without having to take your board off once. Then after lunch you have the option to continue taking laps or go into HCSC’s Main Park for freestyle clinics on rails, jumps, or in the pipe.
Picture it; soft snow, warm sunny skies, hot laps and some airtime. It’as a dream come true.
Follow Coach Tim Eddy through The Lap Park and get a taste of what you could be doing this summer with HCSC Freeride™.

- Body Positioning
- Ollieing
- Riding Switch

With 2-miles of top-to- bottom shredding, epic late-winter snow conditions, and the perfect early summer temperatures, there really is nothing that could compare to HCSC Freeride™. Thanks to Mt. Hood’s massive winter snowfalls, Session One typically starts with over a 15-foot snow base and offers perfect snow conditions to take your freeriding to the next level.
