Why not? What do you think would be some good match ups?

The better question is why haven't there been more? It would be sick to see Lisa, Kelly, Brooke or any of the other girls out there in some games or instabangers.

oh man, I'd love to see some womans instabangers although I feel like that has the potential to have them ignore a ton of the comments though

There has and it was boring as hell. No offense to women's skiing, but it just isn't as entertaining as men's skiing, and therefore draws a smaller audience, making it less "profitable".

Rather put Giulia against Tiril or Kelly, they would put up a pretty good show.

Not cool man. The reason woman's freeskiing isn't at the same level as men's is because they probably don't feel too welcome in a sport with a very masculine attitude.

Girl vs. Girl SLVSH... It depends if they're gonna try stuff. It's mostly like imma do a 360 off this little jump. Lands it then screams next Girl goes n lands it then they hug each other and give each other participation award medals

There are definitely three tiers to the women's side of the sport now.

The Kelly Tier

The Kaya, Maggie, Tiril, Emma, Johanne (Killi) tier

Everybody else.

I think the challenge is finding somebody in their early teens to start matching Kelly. The old dogs out there aren't going to be able to hang.

Lisa Zimmerman has thrown a double cork and has way better rail game than any of those skiers.

only solid womenshredder at the dew tour event 2 weeks ago was Kelly. other high tiers like gulia or lisa weren t invited or didnt give a fuck.

lisa, guila and kelly are imo leading in park. A slvsh park game between two of the three would be pretty entertaining. maybe a euro slvsh game in laax or stubai? I doubt they ll fly over the pond, except for comps.
A women out-of-the park game between Tatum Monod and Michelle Parker.... I d watch!

Totally agree. Womens skiing/snowboarding has got to be one of the most boring things to watch. We have 12 year old kids on our hill that can do the stuff they do on TV. Where is the progression?

Giulia, Tiril, Maggie and Johanne, maybe Katie (on rails) could be interesting. Would definitely pick Coleen over Lisa, who is way overrated, any day though.

They actually invited her to compete on her IG/FB post about how she didn't get invited to the dew tour and xgames. They commented and said "We have a spot for you! Hit us up and we will get something going"
