Chicks with Stix

Avatar

Chicks with Stix is a grass-roots organisation that was founded in 2010 in Australia and our aim is to provide much needed encouragement and opportunities for girls who ski and snowboard to help them improve their skills in bumps, freeride, slopestyle and big mountain. 

Chicks with Stix run FREE ski and board sessions throughout the Australian Alps with Australia’s most experienced female freestyle coaches. !

Girls in the CwS program have an opportunity to watch, learn and improve their skills, in a safe and non-threatening environment.

We provide an outlet for self-expression, social connection, self esteem and fitness. And we have some serious fun at the same time!

Over the coming years our plan is for CwS to be a feeder into the Olympic and FIS World Cup pathway and to help channel girls into that, if that’s where they want to go. Either way, we are looking forward to seeing you at the next CwS freeride session at a mountain near you!

This year they have a snowboard instructor on the team Hannah Studd

What you should do is drive home for the night then on the Saturday morning drive back up the hill and pick me up from the airport on the way through.

Not at all.

Study tour for uni, 2 weeks in Toronto = 2 subjects & 6 months off my degree.

When you are a part time student and your degree is going to take 6 years, 6 months off is a big thing.
