Intergirlactik
April 9-13, 2008
Les 2 Alpes, France
This year, INTERGIRLACTIK moved to the Alps, Les 7 Laux, and was associated to Ho5 Park. It was a logical progression for the event. The snowpark was good, kickers really well shaped, even if the hot weather brought smooth snow. The riders gave a great show, for sure the best since the first Intergirlactik. INTERGIRLACTIK was one of the pioneer events to be involved in women riding promotion. And, next year, for its 5th birthday, Intergirlactik will bring all what women riders deserve today. As for riding as for happenings…
