Women's
Snowboard Camps
If you are a female rider who is looking to build your confidence,
learn new skills and have a great time, then Pro Ride is for
you. We have lots of women come and train with us each winter.
We do not offer a specific girls snowboarding camp or snowboarding
camps for women however we do have many great female pro's
on staff and we make sure that you have the opportunity to
train with them. If you do have a group of 4 or more we can
organize a custom women's snowboarding camp for you.
Focusing
on fun, friendships and building confidence. "At Pro Ride we make sure you have the
opportunity to ride with friendly female pro riders
and coaches. You will receive the individual attention
you deserve. You will also ride with some of the best
male coaches and pro riders who have many years experience
developing female riders." Director

How
many women come to Pro Ride? Snowboarding is a growing sport however it
is still male dominated. Latest figures indicate that
the average is about 3/10 snowboarders is female. We
are challenging this as our average is 4/10 campers
is female. It is common for women to travel by them
selves to Pro Ride as well as to come with their partners
and friends. We would like to see it being 50/50 and
will do all we can to achieve this goal.
Am
I good enough? As long as you can make turns down intermediate
terrain then you are ready for Pro Ride. The majority
of our programs are designed for the intermediate to
advanced rider. .If you are a beginner, novice, junior
development rider or athlete preparing for competition
you can contact us to find out about our custom designed
snowboard camps.
