After a long week of perfect Mt. Hood weather session 2 of High Cascade and session 3 at Windells have both finished up. So far this one was the most solid time here yet. Today was a quick one at the mountain for me so I headed down to Windells for the first time this week to give all of you some skating action.

- Ryan Falk over at Windells park

Some days up here I really just need to ride all day for myself and not take pictures all day long. Luckily I still brought the camera up there to give all of you reading this for a quick shot of Mitch Richmond blasting a frontside air on the hip at High Cascade.

For the third day on hill with the FRENDS this one was the most heated session yet. With the pipe freshly groomed and a clinic going on everyone was throwing down. Take a gander at the most photo heavy day so far with the FRENDS Crew and keep checking in for plenty more.

- Luke Mitrani blasts a huge Michalchuck on his second run through the Superpipe

- Luke again this time with a massive cab 7

- Campers pumped to watch Scotty Lago destroy HCSC’s Pipe

- Scotty has maybe the coolest looking frontside 9 ever contorting with a nose grab

- Jamie Anderson taking a little stroll up the deck

- Jamie cruising through poking out a stalefish

- Jack Mitrani gets over fellow FREND Scotty with an ally-oop nosegrab

- Scotty boning out a front 5 while Ross gets the shot

- Scotty again going HUGE!!! Frontside 7

- Danny Davis

- Danny tweaking hard like many of the meth heads located around Oregon

This session up here at High Cascade is gonne be a good one. With all of the FRENDS crew and Jamie Anderson here for their signature session at High Cascade all week, things might get a little crazy. Today on the hill was a mellow one, but it’s safe to say having all these riders here the level of shredding will be pretty damn high. Just make sure you are checking in every day on snowrev to get the inside scoop on what’s happening this week and the rest of the summer.

So far if you are keeping up with these posts you have seen that up here at Hood the snowboarding and skating are fun as hell. However when the camps get done with their sessions there are a few days off the hill, that for everyone up here to let loose. This in between camping out was the choice so we loaded the Snowrev RV with a bunch of people, tents, and got deep into the woods for a few wild nights at a sick camp spot.

- Tent City

- Timothy Lake

- This is Nick, sending it for breakfast

- Jamie Weller getting into the sketchy path on his off road skateboard a few beers deep

- Nick tried it too but was not so lucky

- Snot rocket gone wrong, how grossed out are you looking at this?
