Ski Patrol: Women-Specific Gear

ski patrol: And women's visibility is rising in the industry's upper ranks, according to Toronto Star. In 2017, the NSAA and National Ski Patrol both appointed their first female leaders. What remains stable is the women's share, which hovers around 40 per cent. Women-specific gear, long an afterthought, has taken off to the point that the overall bestselling ski in America since the 2015-16 season has been a women's model, Blizzard's Black Pearl. Three days of concentrated instruction at Alta, near Salt Lake City, provided lessons in skiing the steeps, and a glimpse into why so many women seem to be flocking to these camps. Shelly Wedge, a ski instructor at the Women's Intermediate-Advanced Ski Camp at the Alta Lodge, leads participants in ski yoga before they head to the slopes at the Alta Ski Area in Utah, Jan. 21, 2018.
