Chicks Who Shred
It’s an incredible time to be female right now with so many opportunities on offer in the snow community. The organisers of Chicks Who Shred have put together an incredible supportive women-specific program across Aussie snow resorts and what’s more, participation is FREE.
Shred Session Leaders who will take you around the mountain and participants get to ride with some of Australia’s best athletes. You’ll need to have your own resort lift pass to participate, it’s for both skiers and snowboarders and the level required is to be able to get down a blue run comfortably and confidently*.

- Falls Creek: 17th and 18th of August

“My participation in this program began ten years ago when my mother, who was tired of skiing solely with men, brought me along and it was a turning point. The program became the cornerstone of my ski season, fostering lifelong friendships and demonstrating that women are just as capable on the slopes. Now, leading this program allows me to create a supportive and enjoyable environment where women can learn and push each other’s limits”. President – Hana Williamson
