Park Affair
Park Affair is a vibrant community of women and gender minority riders pushing the boundaries of what it means to ride, on and off a board.
Whether we find solace in the mountains, the ocean, or the city streets, we’re united by a shared passion for riding and a commitment to growth—without judgment, without limits.
Rooted in snowboarding and centered around progression camps, Park Affair also hosts contests, mentorship programs, meetups, and more.
We welcome riders of all levels who feel at home in a women-led space.
THANK YOU FOR A GREAT SEASON, SEE YOU OVER THE SUMMER IN THE WATER, ON THE MT OR AT THE SKATE PARK

Build With Purpose
Build with Purpose is a women-led park crew clinic designed to elevate, connect, and empower women in park building. We’re bringing together a crew of women from across the East Coast to design and shape the course for Park Affair’s, A Grand in Your Hand.
This clinic pairs experienced park crew members with women who are eager to learn the intricacies of being a park crew member. Whether you’re curious about the field, new, or ready to take the first step, Build With Purpose will further your understanding and education. Together, we’ll collaborate on course design, share skills, and create an inclusive environment for everyone. This workshop is led by a Resort Park Crew Manager.
This is more than building parks, it’s about reshaping the future of snowboarding; one where women and gender minorities are built into the community from the start.

Industry Seminar
We are excited to announce a new program we will be offering in the 24/25 Season. We have received a lot of questions about how to become an instructor, event manger, or how to break into the industry.
We are happy to announce we will be teaming up with different industry leads to host all different seminars.
We kicked our first one off with Amy Bailey in Sept, and it was a success. Stay tuned for more seminars.
Amy was a 2 term AASI national team member. She is an eastern examiner and snowboard comp team and training manager at Stratton resort. Amy is certified AASI level 3, US ski and snowboard level 200, AASI freestyle specialist 1, and children’s specialist 2
The Tristate Trifecta
This is one of our favorite events and hope to do it again soon. We held an event in which we brought together a group of 15 women, bonded by snowboarding, on the ultimate board sport journey to surf, snowboard, and skateboard all in one day in the New York Tri-State area.
