Women's Snowboarding Camp

Press Release

Continuing its assault on the snowboarding world, Chorus Snowboards has announced an alliance with High Cascade Snowboard Camp (HCSC) for the first-ever women's only snowboarding camp at Mt. Bachelor, Ore. April 5-7. The announcement comes on the heels of the introduction of Chorus' apparel line at the recent SnowSports Industries America trade show, and team rider Janna Meyen's explosive return to competition at the Winter X-Games and the Snowboarding World Championships.

Team riders Leslee Olson, Roberta Rodger, Cara-Beth Burnside and Janna Meyen will coach the 3-day program, designed for women riders of all abilities. Elements of the program include improving existing skills, teaching new techniques and building confidence. The $395 fee includes lift tickets, on-hill breakfast and lunch, professional snowboard instruction, demo equipment, camp t-shirt and giveaway prizes at the end of the session.

"This camp grew from the rapidly growing demand of young women in snowboarding," said Victoria Malendoski, Executive Director of High Cascade. "The Chorus team, with some of the top female pros in the business, is an inspiration to all women and the perfect fit for this camp."

For 13 years High Cascade has provided camps regarded among the best in the world. The highly qualified and carefully screened staff provides campers with an unparalleled level of instruction and a ratio as low as two campers per staff member. High Cascade staff are certified in American Red Cross First Aid and CPR and are selected based on their relevant work experience, qualifications, maturity level, reliability, enthusiasm and overall ability to provide a positive and supportive environment for our campers. Nearly 75% of staff members return from year to year.

Chorus snowboards are built with women in mind, offering customized flex and shape with a strong focus on freestyle performance. Although each rider worked with an artist to design a graphic to suit her personality, Chorus boards are not signature models. The team worked together closely to test, ride and collaborate on design of the entire line. Chorus offers cap construction snowboards in five lengths from 142cm-157cm with a suggested retail price of $385 and sidewall boards in lengths of 145cm, 150cm and 155cm with a retail price of $435. The new girls' collection, featuring boards in lengths of 118cm and 128cm, retails at $199. Chorus snowboards and apparel are sold at select specialty snowboarding stores worldwide.
