If you did not know already, Camp Fortune has an indoor mini ramp at the base of the ski hill. Yup, tucked inside a small old ski chalet lies a 3 foot high, 20 foot wide ramp. Fucking amazing huh? So, how the hell did something so awesome happen is this neck of the woods? I will tell you, that guy in the middle of the picture below, Eric Gagné made it happen, that's how. Eric is the groomer for the Camp Fortune Park and an all around great guy. Somehow he convinced the owners of Camp Fortune to let him do it. Then, when he told the boys at Oaks Boardshop about it, they dropped in on the project by paying for all the wood. Now, we have a nice warm, dry spot to skate this winter. So big thanks to Eric Gagné, Camp Fortune and Oaks Boardshop.
We had an event there Dec. 16th to help break in the the place and spread the word. Loads of dirtbags shredded hard, most notably Nimrod, Damien Whelan, Jacob Gagné, Jon Pie, and shop owners Aaron Cayer and Eric Lauzon. We also raised 200 $ for the Wakefield SP. I will spare you the rest of the details, just know it was fun. Big thanks to everyone who came, to Camp Fortune for the food and hospitality and to Oaks Boardshop for funding the ramp!! This winter just got better!
