High Cascade 2009 - Session 6

You know that saying, "more fun than Disneyland"? Well, High Cascade Snowboard Camp up in Mt. Hood, Oregon really is more fun than Disneyland; that's why I'm going up there for my 4th summer. In fact, as you are reading this I'm probably en route to Oregon for Session 6.

What is High Cascade Snowboard Camp, or rather, what isn't it?

A High Cascade vacation includes lodging, food, transportation, trampolines, lake trips, whitewater rafting, paintball, mountain biking, a private dodgeball course, a private street skate course, a private bowl skate course, 2 private lap-able snowboard parks, 1 private rope tow, expert coaches, Cobra Dogs, tons of free demoes and tons of free product.

So I'll be up in a land of never ending snow, aka the Mt. Hood glacier, enjoying all of the above for a week; plus, if all goes well, there will be some new changes and additions to DesertsDontSnow.com as a result.

Stay tuned for daily updates and photos of the goings on... unless my equipment fogs up again and fucks up the whole thing like last summer. Hopefully, I learned my lesson.

Where-U-At? Update 5.20.09

Hey folks who still read this site, Lou G. here.

I haven't posted anything in a while, or what seems like a while; hell, maybe you like the fact I don't pollute your inbox every single day. Anyway, I wanted to just let you know what's up, what's going on and yadda yadda.

There are probably 10 half-written posts sitting in my blogger account. They are all super-long, super-detailed and super-duper-cool... which is part of why they are taking so damn long. Another part is that I write for a living, and after hours of staring at a word processor I am very inclined to stop writing things for the rest of the day.

Lastly, the snow melted! I've been spending the bulk of my free time repairing my rotting miniramp so I have something to do (one of the super-duper-cool posts to come). I'm busting ass, saving to get to Mammoth before they close in about 3 weeks and possibly a trip to Mt. Hood is in the works for late summer.

Be on the lookout for some new gear reviews, more workout and off-season articles, how to repair a rotting miniramp...Oh! Also, random teaser posts; I see about 5 teasers every couple of days--a veritable "plethora" of snowboard film previews--and I figure I might as well help spread the stoke.
