Women from all corners of the world gathered in Saas Fee, to meet and discuss their work and common passion for boardsports. We heard some inspirational stories form the lives of Nicola Thorst, Maritxu Darrigand and Donna Carpenter. Many interesting issues were discussed, such as how to balance work life and life as a mother, new female boardsports initiatives, female riders in the media etc. It was great to hear the views of journalists, photographers, magazine editors, shop owners, riders, PR and marketing people and many more. Of course there was some relaxation involved -yoga, spa and cocktails. Big thanks to Daniela Meyer (Popcorn Saas Fee) and Carmela Fleury (Les Ettes) for starting this great initiative and bringing up many of such interesting topics of discussion for women working in the boardsports industry.
