filipfmBecause their skiing is on a way lower level than any male professional
nfordTatum Monod in Less
And the reason for this is is because they don't/wouldn't put up much a segment... in the ski industry at least, not the others ;)

MousseauWhere she also nabbed this cover with Felix Rioux.
NinetyFourAs far as female edits go, I've been looking for one. I think the girl was named Liz, Lizzy, or Elizabeth or something like that, she was skiing in the summer up on the Whistler glacier; at Momentum or COC, and it was all set to a SonReal song. I think it was a 2010 or 2011 edit. Shit was tight from what I remember, and I'd really like to watch it again, I just haven't been able to find it though.
p-foThis? I believe she was the first girl to do a freeskiing dub (as in not straight flips).

NinetyFourYeah dude, that's it! I was pretty sure her name was almost in line with a common name in my family. Apparently it isn't Elizabeth then... Warll is though.
A little more speed on some of those jumps and she would be crushing it. Where is she at nowadays?
jasonlarryguyThis question just struck me, In most of the ski movies I've seen, which is not that many, how come there aren't any female segments?
Only one I can think of is Sarah Burke in the movie Red Tape.
will-blackwellpretty sure there's a couple all-girl movies coming out this year, one's called 'pretty faces'
MSP has girls in every movie as far as i know and they fucking shred (Ingrid, Michelle, Wendy)
also jess kimura and laura hadar absolutely slayed in capita's 'defenders of awesome'
yelselBack in the day Warren Miller movies used to have chicks in it ripping big mountain lines and whatnot. I remember watching Ingrid Backstrom (sp?) and other ladies going big and was so in awe of them. I havent seen any of his movies since his son took over though.
__skiaraIn that case you should probably be watching recent ski films instead of posting this thread.
Tatum killlled it in Less. I was off the wall for the entirety of her segment.
Kaya has had some segments in Eye Trip and what not
and Michelle Parker worked her ass off to get an all girls movie produced.
Also, Maude puts out rad edits also a few times a season that are worth checking out.
SheSkisTheParkI think it's harder for girls to take the impact of some of the flat landings in the urban environment.

" “Across sports, not just freeskiing, female athletes have a higher incidence of ACL rupture than males,” says Laura Tietjen, a physical therapist for the United States Ski & Snowboard Association. According to Tietjen, female athletes need greater hip strength to avoid the inward collapse of their knees because of something called Q Angle. This angle that extends from the widest part of the hip to the middle of the kneecap is much larger in females. The alignment of women’s knees may predispose them to ACL injuries, but other factors play in, including women’s increased hamstring flexibility and foot pronation and variations in the nerves and muscles that control the position of the knee. In addition, the female hormone estrogen may relax or allow stretching of the ACL"
BOONCHANGEL COLLINSON IN ALMOST ABLAZE how has noone said this. She rips harder than any girl I've seen.
