The third Slope Sistair women’s freeride event is being held on August the 28th to 30th. The slopestyle comp takes place on a specially designed course near Grand Junction Colorado, and will showcase some of the top female freeride talent in the world. If you’re thinking about heading along, all the info is now at www.slopesistair.wordpress.com

This year the event is also catering to aspiring freeriders, with a skills camp and trail riding session before the big event:

The event is scheduled from August 28-30 and we’ve expanded on the idea of “SlopeSistair” from being a slopestyle event alone, to include women of all skill levels through different avenues. On Friday for early arrivals we’ll offer guided shuttle rides of the popular trails around Grand Junction. On Saturday the 29th, a half-day skills clinic for all women coached by professional riders, as well as practice for the main event. Sunday will consist of the main slopestyle, complete with ‘celebrity’ announcers and judges, a beer garden, and awards ceremony.

While organizing the event in Colorado makes it more difficult for sponsors to attend, it opens up participation to a completely different population of women from the Colorado and Utah in addition to the professional riders who normally attend and compete in these events.
