On Saturday, March 1, the good folks taking in a day on the slopes of Mont-Blanc might have seen something spectacular: a whole bunch of young women catching crazy air, and teaching younger women how to do the same. The Jump n’ Grind event, hosted by local all-female snowboard crew Rugged Riders, held their morning clinic for newbies before testing themselves against each other to win an all-inclusive trip to the fourth annual Roxy Chicken Jam all-girl snowboard contest, held next weekend at Mammoth Mountain, California.
