INNSBRUCK, AUT (Sept. 13, 2006)
The Burton All Girls SnowCamps by Nicola Thost go into their second season with 6 camps planned between February - April 2007.
After great feedback from girls all over the world who have participated in the three camps offered last season, the direction was clear for Burton and Nicola Thost: The camps must continue!
Nicola, Olympic Gold Medalist in 1998 and role model for many snowboarding girls out there, has brought women snowboarding to a new level during her career. Still riding and loving the sport, her new mission is to organize the Burton All Girls SnowCamps: "With my camps I want to bring together girls from all over the world to share the fascination and life of snowboarding. The girls will get the opportunity to explore the diversity of snowboarding in a non-competitive way and improve riding with no fear. I can't wait to see these girls laughing, kicking ass, cheering up each other and moving on with a big smile on their face."
Ivar Fougstedt, Burton Marketing Director Europe: "Burton is one of the few companies who are offering women's specific equipment for more than 10 years now. It has never before offered such an extensive Women's line as for this season (new B by Burton line, more Women's boards than ever before). We want to support all female riders out there not only with the perfect gear, but also with the perfect infrastructure to improve their riding skills in an environment that they feel comfortable in!"
What can you expect when you participate in one of the camps? The camps offer 5 days full of snowboard lessons with professional snowboard teachers who are experienced in all terrains. Next to professional coaching on and off slope with video analysis, special workshops will take place, eg how you have to tune your board or covering topics like snowboard safety. Of course all girls will also have the opportunity to test the latest Burton women-specific equipment. Plus side-events/evening activities will not come short either.
The camp package is offered for € 663 including accommodation, food, lift-tickets, coaching, test equipment, welcome goodie-bags and more - check out the website for more detailed information.
