Snowboard all summer at Mt. Hood

Snowboard in the summer. What? Can it be true? No way! Well for all of you stuck in the Midwest you probably never think about hitting the slopes during the summer. Well I guess that can’t be true, because if you are a die hard like I am, you are probably thinking about how to get back on your snowboard as soon as the season ends. Well, guess what? You can snowboard in the summer, and you should. Located in Oregon, Mt. Hood is one of the only places in the US where you can get your snowboard gear out and hit the slopes during the summer.

I have to admit that I have never been to Mt. Hood for a summer session, but man I would love to go. For those of you who want to excel and take snowboarding to the next level, there are a few different camps that run all summer. Check out Windells Camp, or High Cascade Snowboard Camp. People have different feelings on both of the camps, however I am sure you can’t go wrong with either one. How can you? You are going to be snowboarding in the summer. What can be bad about that?

Either way, if you are in the Midwest and think that you can’t snowboard during the summer months, your nightmare has ended. Get yourself out to Oregon and hit up Mt. Hood. As for me, I also need to man up and take the plunge. I have been thinking about it for years, and I just need to make the jump and do it. For now, I am going to stick to my guns and keep showing you ways to board the Midwest all day, everyday!

If you have ever experienced Mt. Hood in the summer or the winter, please leave us with your story. Hopefully you will inspire the rest of us to get out there!
