Step by Step – Girls Progression at the Vans Penken Park
When the Girls Shred Session took place last Saturday in Mayrhofen, the weather gods were certainly pulling all kinds of tricks – dense fog, snowfall and bright sunshine, you name it. The most memorable sight of the day were the smiles on the girls’ faces, though. The fully packed program for girls only included park coaching, photo and film sessions, having lunch together and the Vans Penken Park’s setup was amazing as usual.
Progression for each skill level
In the morning, a couple of snowflakes were dancing in the air, as the girls were getting ready for the session. During the collective warm-up, there was plenty of stretching, chatting and giggling – one could certainly sense that the girls were eagerly looking forward to their shred day together with the coaches. No matter if park newbie or experienced local –freeski coach Aylina Dörk provided advice for all the girls to reach their individually set goals. The Girls Shred Session was the perfect setting to get to know other like-minded shred sistas and they were definitely more than enthusiastic about the coaching.
Friends don’t let friends shred alone
Gunda Wöckl was on the same wavelength as her freeski coach as well,
It’s really cool that Aylina kept pushing me. She encouraged me to hit obstacles, I never even thought I’d be able to ride.
The freeskier from Lower Austria was also totally impressed with the Vans Penken Park’s setup,
You’ve got so many possibilities, it’s really tough to decide which element to ride first.
Not surprisingly so – with a mindboggling total of eight lines, it’s not exactly an easy choice.

Sun’s out, guns out!
After completing the first, extensive progression session, the shred queens certainly earned their free lunch. Meanwhile, the sun was shining brightly and the gang was full of new energy and ready to enter the medium kicker line. Here, it was the girls’ turn to unleash their newly acquired skills and have their tricks captured professionally by the QParks media crew.
Girls just wanna have fun
Just moments before the sun was about to set behind the Zillertal Alps, all the shred queens were gathering for the goodie tombola, where they were getting hooked up with some cool stuff by the Mayrhofen Mountain Railways, Vans Penken Park, QParks, Pinetime Clothing and TSG. All the participants came to the conclusion that it definitely was a successful Girls Shred Session at the legendary Vans Penken Park, including a top-notch atmosphere, cool chicks and progression, progression and even more progression!
