WHAT IS WOMEN’S WEEKEND?
The Women’s Weekend clinic is welcoming to all women (ages 18+) looking to build their skills and have fun doing it. Our coaches will help you level up, whether you are new to the sport and like to stick to the green trails, are an intermediate rider that sometimes dabbles (or walks) on the black trails, or are a serious shredder that wants to improve your jump/drop/corner game. We’ll meet you where you are and help you achieve your goals in small groups with likeminded ladies.
Friday evening participants can set up camp, register, have a bike check by mechanics, take a guided tour of The Hill on paved roads, hang out, and get settled in. If you are unable to join us Friday evening, you can register, set up, and have your bike looked at Saturday morning. Saturday we will split into groups to work on skills and then apply those skills to riding on the back side trails. Saturday evening there will be optional evening sessions such as bike suspension set up, bike park etiquette, and gear gabs. Sunday will begin with a skill based lesson and then we’ll apply everything we’ve learned to sessioning and riding the front side trails.
Yeehaw!

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE YOU REGISTER
WHAT kind of bike should I bring?
1
The bike that you ride! Hardtail and full suspension mountain bikes that is, not your road bike.
what type of pedals do I need?
2
Flat pedals are strongly suggested to help you learn proper technique and have confidence to easily put a foot down. You can also ride clipless if that’s what you’re comfortable with.
do I need a dropper post?
3
Not always! But if it' doesn’t, check to make sure your bike has a quick release adjustable seat post. Being able to move your seat quickly=more fun.
I don’t have a fancy new bike, is that okay?
4
There are a few bike shops in the area that will rent you a bike. Be sure to reserve it ahead of time.
what other types of gear do I need?
5
A half shell or full face helmet is required. Pads (knee, elbow, chest protectors) are optional. Some sort of water carrying device (hydration pack, hipsack, water bottle cage) is required. Snacks are always a great idea!
-
Saturday night we will have an optional clinic about loading our bikes in the shuttle. Sunday we’ll put those skills to the test. We’ll get to shuttle all day to our hearts content, even after the official end of the clinic!
-
We will ride rain or shine. The trails at The Hill hold up well and often provide sweet hero dirt after a rain.
-
There is no cost, and there are plenty of spots for tent and van camping. RV’s and pull behind trailers are too big and can be super sketchy on the tight twisty road up and down The Hill.
Two modern bathrooms complete with running water and showers are on site.
Lodging is nearby if you’d prefer not to camp. This, however, will be at your own expense.
