Our Story
Founded in 2009 by world champion snowboarder Tim Windell and Olympic-medalist coach Mike Hanley, Wy’East Mountain Academy, formerly known as Windells Academy, is dedicated to transforming the lives of young athletes. The Academy combines rigorous college-prep academics with elite training programs for skateboarders, skiers, and snowboarders. In 2019, the name change reflected a broader mission to nurture students as well-rounded individuals, not just athletes.
