Female freeriders benefit from initiatives aimed at nurturing their skills in freeride sports. Casey Brown, referred to as the 'Godmother of freeride', founded the Dark Horse Academy. This five-day camp at Revelstoke Mountain Resort supports girls aged 14-19, providing mentorship from professional athletes. Coaches, including Georgia Astle and Micayla Gatto, guide riders through a comprehensive curriculum. The venue features diverse trails, allowing riders to progress in their skills. Notably, Trek's C3 Project has funded scholarships to support participation in this camp, ensuring accessibility for aspiring riders.
"A lot of actually black [rated] jump lines are just tables and they're just long. The jumps here at Revelstoke actually have steep lips and good hiking trails on the side to session features and try tricks on them."
"With help from coaches like Georgia Astle, Micayla Gatto, and Harriet 'Haz' Burbidge-Smith, Academy riders were able to dive into a full curriculum of skills on and off the bike."
