Part 3 • Women's Led Split Series [at] Bolton Valley
Greetings All!
We’re beyond stoked to offer this Women’s Led Splitboard Series. This series wouldn’t be possible without the generous help and support of Burton, WTNN (Burton Women’s, Trans, Non-Binary Network), and Bolton Valley.
We’re changing things up for this on snow event. We’re going to start the day off at the newly renovated Timberline Lodge at Bolton Valley, where we’ll get our gear dialed, and go through a quick 101 session on layering, skin use, break out into groups, and then head out on snow. More details are coming to your e-mail from Burton, so check your e-mail, and if you don’t see it, keep an eye on your spam / junk folder just in case.
*** Please note that Signups for the February 11th On-Snow event are now closed. Only those who pre-registered for this event will be able to attend. Participation is limited to keep group to guide numbers manageable, and ensure we have enough rental gear for those that need it! Missed out on this event, no worries! We’ve got ONE last event at the Burton Flagship Store. Backcountry Awareness Night, with a knowledgeable, experienced group of guest speakers!
