Vernon - On Jan. 14, Feb. 4 and March 4, Mountain Creek will hold Girls Learn to Ride sessions. The two-hour program is designed to give females of all ages the basic skills and confidence necessary to participate in snowboarding. Each lesson is taught by female instructors, who will provide beginner training with an emphasis on equipment safety and skill development. A maximum of seven participants will be assigned per group. The goal is to foster a comfortable atmosphere in which girls and women can learn a sport traditionally dominated by boys and men. The morning and afternoon sessions will be held at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. and will each allow a maximum of 50 participants. On-site registration will be held two hours before the event in Square One, located at the Vernon base. Registration times run from 8 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. for the morning session and 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. for the afternoon session. Participants should meet in the learning center 10 minutes prior to start time. The $53 fee includes a two-hour lesson, rentals for the day and a lift ticket.
