The Pink Sessions 1st All-Girls ski & snowboard contest was held at Valle Nevado Saturday August 9th. Around 30 ladies showed up to slide the boxes, jump the booters, and flaunt their styliest snow gear. Some good riding went down and it was impressive to see how many women are starting to get into the sport here in Chile. Everyone showed up with a smile and positive vibes. It was a nice progression session for the chicas who charged hard and rode better than some of their guy friends do. Props out to Felipe Erlandsen who organized the event. Sponsors included Mallsport, Burton, Rusty, DC, Carefree, Cosmopolitan, Funner Films, and more.
