LEVEL UP 〰️
More than a freeride EVENT.
A community built to help women discover, progress and belong in the mountains with free access.
LEVEL UP VIDEO
“ After years of competing, it’s time to give back
what snowboarding brings to me. From my own experience I had so many financial issues to reach the pinnacle.
I had the chance to observe what needs the freeride community around me the last few years and what can do the outdoor industry for a nice visibility of the brands.
There is a lack of visibility in snowboard women especially in competition, it’s time give them a chance to jump to another level on snow with the best skills and to help them to be more confident.
Level Up will be a perfect event for gathering snowboarders and to improve skills with differents approaches & topics.
Without to forget an atmosphere of fun, solidarity and kindness.” Marion <3

Workshop
What’s Going Through My Mind Before I Drop
Have you ever wondered what a professional freerider is thinking just before standing on top of a competition face?

Topics include:
Reading the mountain before dropping in.
Managing fear and pressure.
Building confidence through preparation.
Visualisation techniques.
Decision-making in complex terrain.
Learning when not to ride.
A behind-the-scenes look into the mindset of a world champion.
Athlete Round Table
Stories Beyond the Podium
Every mountain journey is different.
Join professional freeriders and outdoor athletes for an open discussion about the realities of life in the mountains.
Together, we’ll explore topics such as:
Building a career in mountain sports.
Successes, failures and resilience.
Injuries and comebacks.
Confidence and self-belief.
Managing fear.
Balancing performance with personal life.
The future of women’s freeriding.
Participants are encouraged to ask questions and engage in an open conversation with the athletes.
Community Evenings
Because the best moments often happen after riding.
Each day ends with relaxed moments shared together—whether over dinner, a film screening, a guest presentation or simply conversations about the day’s adventures.
These evenings create lasting connections and turn Level Up into much more than a training camp.
Many participants arrive alone and leave with new friends and future riding partners.
