Thanks Justin!

Here is a great video about smart style. It is highly recommended that you check it out. There is some good stuff in there!

It’s almost time for summer shredding!  If you made it to State Finals, congratulations!  If you didn’t, fret not. Snowboarding isn’t so much about winning and losing as it is about having fun and making new friends.  Where might a place exist to do such things? High Cascade Snowboard Camp, Mt. Hood Oregon. 

Awesome Things of Note: 

$200 discount for all OISA Members!

Many of us at High Cascade came up competing in events like OISA and we’d like to support and ride with you this summer.  Just use code “OISA13“ when you sign up. Click here to register!

Registered for another Camp but want to come to HCSC? No problem. We’ll credit you for your lost deposit at the other camp (up to $500) and still give you the $200 OISA discount.

Terms and Conditions apply. Contact our office at 503.206.8520 for more information.

Mt. Hood currently has a base of nearly 15 feet!

More good news; If you stood where our 22′ Superpipe is located during the summer there would be another 40 feet of snow UNDER that base!  Hard to imagine, but true.

Real Snow

Come ride RealSnow™ all summer with the U.S. Snowboarding Olympic Team as they prepare for the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics.  While the top pipe dogs will be going massive with their new combo cork maneuvers the best Olympic slopestyle contenders will be shredding our Main Park™ and Lap Park™ .  Click here to see which Olympic hopeful you can ride with this summer at HCSC.

Cab 270 the down rail, boosting airs in the pipe, intense racing, and  incredibly fast riding were just some of the hot shred action that took place at States.

At awards, the smiles, cheers, and tears of joy were in abundance. We had a grip of raffle prizes. Callie Sweet won the session to HCSC. New trophies for this year. However the treasured Sato Cup was claimed by Oregon City for the girls and West Linn for the boys (complete results below).

Big ups to the Mt bachelor event staff for making our go off without a hitch, including getting the riders back up to the top for Boys SBX Semis & Finals. Also big props to Carson and the HCSC Staff for putting on a fun event after SS. Heck, even Jon Ingersoll came out to stoke out the riders and get in the pipe!

Looking forward to next year.

As always, starting things off in proper fashion were the girls of the OISA and they looked sharp. With their teammates cheering them on from the slope just above the course, it was 50-50’s and boardslides for days as they destroyed the box and the picnic table in superfluous fashion. One of the girls, rockin’ the red, white, and black colors of OC, even threw down a FS 180 on to 180 out on the picnic table. Siiiiiiiick! With the rails done, the second half of the course was going to send the girls high-flying as they came into the jump line-up. With smooth grabs and big airs, the girls earned some serious style points and after two runs each, the judges decided it was Sierra Clasen from Oregon City who had the biggest and best tricks of the day. Congratulations, Sierra Clasen!

Next up were the boys and despite the cold, everyone was super-pumped to throw down some steezy tricks and keep the crowd and the level of progression, going strong. The picnic table soon became their personal punching bag as rider-after-rider nose-buttered, tail-tapped, and front-boardslid the feature to death, with the hand-rail feature fairing only slightly better. After the second rail, it was time to pump as the boys needed to keep their speed going into the jump-line. If you were a judge, it was probably hard to keep your head on straight as the boys spun front 180 indies, backside 360 melons, cabs and half-cabs, with most everyone clearing the knuckle and keeping their speed up for the second, and biggest jump of the course. With their eye on the prize, riders sent-it, going big off the second hit, throwing down huge, floaty 540’s and even a few 720’s. A few riders washed-out on the landing, but overall, everyone, boy and girl alike, was able to stomp their landings and ride away clean. However, it was Kevin Holmes from West Linn who proved his tricks to be the biggest and the baddest as took home 1^st Place. Congratulations, Kevin Holmes!

Thanks again to all the riders that made it out to compete and to all the parents who have dedicated a lot of time and resources into letting their rider have fun! We’re all looking forward to some storm riding this week with HUGE amounts of snow being dumped on the slopes, so please, put those noodley, shred-sticks away for a few days, grab your Fish, and go slash some pow and grab some freshies! Ride on!

Next competition is a Slopestyle on February 8th at Timberline!
