High Cascade's 2026 Olympic Guide: Come Ride With Olympians This Summer

At High Cascade Snowboard Camp, the Olympics aren’t something we watch from the outside. They’re something we’ve been connected to for decades.

Long before snowboarding became a centerpiece of the Winter Games, riders were spending their summers on Mount Hood lapping the same lanes, learning the same fundamentals, and pushing progression in the same place we still call home today. Many of those riders are now preparing to represent their countries on the world’s biggest stage.

As the 2026 Olympic Games kick off, we wanted to share the athletes who bring a High Cascade connection to the competition. From campers and coaches to staff and Signature Session™ Pros, these are riders whose Olympic journeys include summers on Mount Hood and that makes watching this cycle even more meaningful for us.

2026 SIGNATURE SESSION™ PROS

This Olympic cycle, we’re stoked to have four of our Signature Session™ Pros heading to the 2026 Games. Each of them brings their own style and approach, and watching them compete on the world’s biggest stage this winter is something we’re excited about. While Shaun White won’t be competing this time around, he’ll be bringing his voice to the 2026 Games as a commentator. This summer, you’ll have the chance to come hang out and ride with all of them on Mount Hood and see it firsthand.
