Early in the morning, on December the 20th, Dolomiti Resort got ready for the biggest snowboarding event on the planet: the World Snowboard Day. Riders from all over Beijing area came to the resort near the host city of the 2022 Winter Olympics to celebrate the tenth anniversary of this landmark grass-roots initiative at Dolomiti Resort.

CSbA’s Jen de Rose, an education specialist, together with Chinese Nitro Pro Rider Zhu Hong, organized the first ever WSF Pro Women event with great success. Zhu Hong led a workshop for ten local female riders and provided individual feedback to each rider.

They all participated in a fun relay where Zhu Hong emphasized the importance of teamwork and the goal of helping other riders improve. At the end of the session the ladies received a gift from Cold Mountain, GoSki and Dragon. The entire event brought the group closer together, encouraging them to improve their riding skills and to support their fellow female riders – furthering the development of Chinese Lady shredders!

Ready for more?

Just wait for what’s next up for #WSFProWomen with Kjersti Buaas’ and Chanelle Sladic’s PRSNT Trondheim CampPRSNT is a performance self development camp for women focused on snowboarding, but not only.

We create this camp because we want to get women of all ages, all levels together to do yoga, snowboard, meditate, learn about nutrition and health and find our #PRSNT state of mind. Being professional athletes has thought us that it is in this state that we perform our best. We want to help facilitate an environment that will stimulate the participants to get to this special place, because we know how powerful it can be! We believe that weather it’s on the mountain, at work or in anything you are passionate about, this state of mind is the key to performing to your fullest potential. For us the goal is that the campers go will home with tools that they didn’t have prior to the camp and knowing how to utilize these.” said Kjersti, a four time olympian, bronze medal winner and xgames medalist.
