Further info on meeting places will be posted to the blog and our facebook page.
 

If you're planning to come to one of the sessions, drop us an email at chickswithstix.skiing@gmail.com and make a booking so we can make sure we have sufficient coaches.

For those of you that haven’t had the chance to be involved in a Freeride Session here is a rough idea of what they’re all about!

9:40am            

Coaches arrive/ meet and greet

10.00-11.00am 
Warm up: Skiers and boarders will ride as a group down some long groomers to warm up our legs and bodies in preparation for a big day.

11.00-12.00pm 

Skill development: Groups will split into skiers, boarders, moguls, jumping, park, pipe and free-ride (depending on the facilities at the mountain) and coaches. This will be a basic introduction into these disciplines and a chance for you to get a taste of what each discipline has to offer as well as chat to the coaches about their experiences.

12.00-1.00pm 
Lunch: Help yourslef to the vairety of yummy food that each resort has on offer. You are responsible for your own food and drink throughout the day.

 

1.00-2.00pm

The group will go and shred some groomers together again to get warmed up again. Then you can change groups and try something new OR keep perfecting their newly learnt skills from the morning session.

2.00-3.00pm

Shredding will continue until 2.45 when the groups will come together at the meeting point again to award prizes of the CwS session awards and conclude the CwS session.

The sessions are designed to give you a chance to try something new, meet new lady shredders and get to know our coaches and ambassadors who've made skiing and snowboarding a part of their lives in one way or another.
