The girls had thought of everything with flags and banners decorating the park, along with sweeties, lollypops and stickers handed out to anyone who signed up and to those who landed rad tricks!! Any lads who were coaching had also made an effort with dressing up in wigs, fluffy capes and Hawaiian shirts!
The day started with a few casual laps through the park to warm up and then the coaches went off with small groups of girls and gave pointers and tips to the girls that wanted them.
After an hour or so the girls all got together and did laps together from Natalie Stevenson who had been skiing for 3 days and tried her first kicker, to Hannah, Alex and Amber learning how to ski switch and hitting the boxes for the first time!
Coach Ella Fry Taylor and Corinne Mayhew took some of the boarders off and gave tips for learning back ones, along with some great techniques for hitting the larger kickers.
After a big girly shred the girls did a jam session on the kicker in between the rails above the park hut. On the hottest day of the season it was pretty warm hiking up for the kicker but the girls smashed it! Megs from Skiworld was killing it with massive method grabs, Sarah Duckworth ended up winning best trick with her super stylish back 1s, and Emily and Ophelia were smashing out really nice poppy 180’s and 360s!
After an epic day in the park we all headed to Braseros in Lavachet for a BBQ. The food was insane and with a huge prize-giving from our awesome sponsors and a ton of free punch kindly concocted by Kate Hoenes from Braseros, it was an amazing afternoon!
A huge shout out to everyone who took part, to the coaches and the amazing support from the boys, to Tignes Spirit and Braseros for helping us make it all happen and of course to the sponsors for the rad prizes!!!!
Here's to all the same next season!!
