On March 25 & 26, Mt. Bachelor Ski Resort is hosting Women’s Progression Sessions. This woman-centric initiative will bring together like-minded passionate riding enthusiasts of varying ages and abilities, where skiers and snowboarders can work with female progression coaches to grow their skills in a supportive and progressive environment. As part of the greater Woodward mission, the teams at Mt. Bachelor strive to inspire the next generation of sports experiences through intuitive programming and in the innovative environments of the Woodward Mountain Parks.
Mt. Bachelor is collaborating with the US Ski/Snowboard Team to bring in snowboard slopestyle athlete Jade Thurgood and halfpipe athlete Zoe Kalapos for this fun filled weekend. They will be riding around with clinic participants, stoking out competitors and spectators at the freestyle jam competition and connecting with the community at an athlete meet and greet/signing.
Day one will feature ‘tips’, within Freestyle and Freeride clinics, while day two will feature ‘tricks’, with a Freestyle Jam competition held in the afternoon in the new Woodward Mini Pipe. Guests will enjoy Woodward swag, giveaways and prizes from Burton, Go Pro and Gatorade.
WHO: Participants must be 13+ and able to safely and confidently navigate turning, stopping and ride deemed blue terrain. Groups will be broken out based on ability: ‘Up and Coming’ or ‘Lets Rip’.
