The Rugged Riders Tricks R4 Chicks snowboard camp presented by Roxy was four days of explosive energy, determination and pure ruggedness. TR4C set a precedent in eastern Canada as the first, the one and the only, all girls snowboard camp. Mont-Blanc Ski Resort hosted the camp in the private TR4C snowboard park designed with Rugged Riders panel of women shredders and carefully constructed with the Mont-Blanc park rangers and Rugged Staff.

The journey began with pick-ups…rallying girls together at their closest Axis boardshops and then loading them into the Rugged Mobile. TR4C gathered girls from as far as Barrie, Ontario and Lac St-Jean, Quebec. From there we headed to the park to see what would be called home for the next four days. With two super smooth booters and a diversity of jibs there was something for everyone. The TR4C private park was the perfect design for learning, and learn we did…

Four days of thirty girls owning the private TR4C park was more than enough to pump up the girls to learn new tricks and make new friends. The girls exceeded everyone’s expectations and were progressing at a rate so fast that we could hardly keep up with them! Even the pros were surprised. Amber Stackhouse and Alexis Waite the TR4C guest pro riders camp had never seen a group of girls so motivated and rugged when it came to riding and learning in a camp atmosphere.

The beginner freestylers were quickly doing big airs, 180 spins and frontside boardslides while the more experienced riders were practicing their cab 3’s and 540’s or learning steezy tricks on the street rail.

After a day on the hill we loaded the Rugged Mobile and headed to camp for some good home-cooked meals, and extra activities. Nighttime was the perfect chance to learn how to crochet, skateboard, give massages, rock climb or have water fights while doing the dishes! The evenings were also the perfect time for the Rugged Crew to take a trip to the spa and chill out in the hot tub, steam baths and sauna.

All the girls left with goodies bags from Roxy and Axis Boardshop. They also benefited from great deals on SBC subscriptions, and prizes from DC and APO snowboards.

The Tricks R4 Chicks Camp had it all; experienced and certified coaches, guest pro-riders, a private park, awesome food and tons of girls that were truly rugged and ready to shred. We couldn’t have asked for a better group of girls, a nicer park or a more fabulous four days together.

For girls ready to shred…we will see you at the Rugged Riders Jump’N Grind event on March 10^th. For girls who are interested in some rugged snowboard coaching…they can contact info@ruggedriders.com.
