Coach Lauren with Clare Sullivan |
A new snowboard program at Cranmore has been designed with female riders in mind. The Revolution Girls Camp is designed for female riders
13 years or older. Lauren Swymer one of the lead camp instructors is incredibly
excited about the new camp. “This is a camp that focuses on the beginner
snowboarder, with some freestyle involved to help people with their style and
it focuses on having a lot of fun riding.” One of the main proponents for
having a women’s specific camp is that there are a lot of male snowboarders out
there and Lauren Swymer and other coaches want to see more females out riding
and enjoying the sport that they have such a deep passion for. When you sign up
for a Revolution Girl Camp lesson you are paired with a female instructor,
which customers so far have really enjoyed. Clare Sullivan was the first person to try the program had this to say “I was up last weekend
and had a GREAT time! Thank you Cranmore team. Everyone was so kind, patient,
and very encouraging! I would highly recommend the program.”
Working on the basics |
There are two different types of
lessons that you can take. One is a lesson set up for the beginner snowboarder
who has never tried the sport or someone with very little experience. This lesson is $89 and it includes a lesson,
rentals, and a lower mountain lift ticket for the day. If you are someone who
is a little more advance, there is a freestyle lesson. This focuses on fine
turning skills that you already have as well as working on terrain park
elements. Cranmore have 5 different terrain parks that range from beginner
features to more advanced, so there is something for everyone. If this lesson is better suited for you, it is
$59. You must provide your own
equipment for this lesson.
With the snow being fantastic
right now and with our snowmakers continuing to build our snow depth higher and higher, there is
no better time to get out and try something new. These programs are meant to be relaxed and
welcoming. Load up your car and bring your girlfriends and yourself to Cranmrore.
