At Alberta Snowboard, we are committed to getting more girls and women involved in snowboarding\u2014not just as riders, but also as leaders, coaches, officials, and judges. We envision a future where participation in snowboarding is truly equal, with as many women as men thriving in all aspects of the sport. While this vision is ambitious, we\u2019re taking meaningful steps to make it a reality.<\/p>\n

The Rally Report 2024<\/strong> by Canadian Women & Sport underscores both the progress made and the barriers that remain in making sports like snowboarding accessible and inclusive for all girls and women. According to the report, girls are motivated by community, fun, and the joy of learning, yet face unique challenges such as body confidence, financial barriers, and a lack of visible role models. With this in mind, Alberta Snowboard is dedicated to fostering an environment where women can thrive\u2014not just as participants, but as leaders shaping the future of our sport.<\/p>\n

Our Vision: Growing Women\u2019s Snowboarding Together<\/h3>\n

Through initiatives like Elleboard<\/strong> and Kindred Collective<\/strong>, we are building a strong, supportive community for women in snowboarding. These programs offer training sessions, events, and mentorship opportunities designed to empower female snowboarders at every level\u2014whether they\u2019re competing, coaching, officiating, or judging.<\/p>\n

Elleboard was created to provide women in Alberta with the opportunity to develop as snowboard athletes, technical leaders, and coaches. With the support of Sport Canada<\/strong>, the Canadian Association for the Advancement of Women in Sport<\/strong>, and the Coaching Association of Canada (CAC)<\/strong>, Elleboard\u2019s mission is to level the playing field and bring more women into leadership roles within snowboarding.<\/p>\n
