Piece of Cake is Sweden’s largest and also the ONLY female snowboard competition within the category of slopestyle, happening on the 14th of March with 10.000 SEK up for grabs.
The reason we started Piece of Cake last winter was to engage more girls as part of the sport which has been minimal in recent years, and we also noticed that there is an especially great interest among the female riders for girl’s only competitions. Generally, there is very little focus on girls within boardsports and continued development of Piece of Cake feels like a given! We need a competition where girls are at the center, where development of girls and the sport takes a step in the right direction.
Last year's edition of Piece of Cake was kicked off on Saturday, March 22, 2014, a girls only snowboard competition. Altogether there were 25 contestants, which included snowboarders from Sweden, Iceland, Norway and Poland. The competition was a huge success and it was both encouraging and exciting to see so many girls enrolled and psyched to be part of the competition.
During this winter’s edition of Piece of Cake, we hope that more international riders will participate, and that the number of riders will increase overall. New this year is a pre-competition in Falu Snowpark, named Cookie Jam. This will be a smaller one-day event with a session as the form of competition – where the winner receives a spot in the finals at this year’s Piece of Cake.
