The all-female-shape crew guarantees lots of girl power in Obergurgl on a daily basis – but on January 27, 2018 the crew around park designer Francine was able to welcome even more girls to the parks: The first Girls Shred Session of this winter went down in Obergurgl. It was a bluebird day with coaching and even more progression.

The motto of the Girls Shred Sessions – “Girls Own The Park” – is definitely true when talking about Obergurgl: That’s why the kick-off of this season’s Girls Shred Sessions went down here! The shape crew had to fight lots of fresh snow beforehand, but managed to get the setup in perfect shape for the session. After some welcoming words and a warm-up, the motivated shred queens started into the shred session: All snowboarders got pro tips from Lea Baumschlager and Pilar de la Cruz, Lisi Gram took over the freeski-coaching.

This year, the crew built not only one, but two parks. So everyone was able to find their perfect obstacle for sure. Coaches Lisi and Lea agreed that the Familypark was “great for beginners” and “for everyone, who needs to take it slowly at first”. All the girls, who celebrated their park premiere, did their first runs in the Familypark – whilst lots of other shred sistas pushed each other and shredded the obstacles at the Snowpark.

At lunchtime everyone found their way back to the chill area in the Snowpark, where they could restore their energy levels for the next few runs at the barbecue. Kirstie, Gem and Gemma, all of them for the first time at a Girls Shred Session, were thrilled: “Before, we just slid across boxes and jumped smaller kickers occasionally , but after the first coaching session our skills have improved already!” Afterwards the shape queens showed the shred queens the handling of the shape tool in a How-To-Shape-Workshop – because obstacles shouldn’t only be shredded, but perfectly shaped afterwards too.

At the end of the session, all riders got goodies from QParks, Golden Ride and Nikita. What an awesomefirst Girls Shred Session of the season: Great weather, perfect setup and motivated coaches and riders. And, just like Coach Lisi said: “Lots of girls shredding the park can’t do any harm, can it?!” On the contrary, if #girlsownthepark is the motto, progression is on the program!
