Duchess
Ride
Mission
Fostering the rebellious spirit in all of us, at Duchess Ride we aim to bring more girls to board sports, by removing barriers to snowboard, skate, and surf communities so each girl can step tenaciously into something new.
Because it’s never just been about the board. It’s about confidence, connection, and the kind of belonging that sticks long after camp ends.
CAMPS
SNOWboard camp
Starting in December and ending the first week of March, we run this fun 5-10 Day Camp every Sunday on snow at Beaver Creek and every Wednesday night at Trinity Church in Edwards. Girls will grow their skills at snowboarding but also join a community of girls that is supportive and happy to shred.
2026-27 TBD
About us
Claire and Richelle have been snowboard instructors here in Colorado for the last 9+ years. With Duchess Ride we hope to share our passion for board sports with young women in our community. To give them an opportunity to gain confidence, make friends, have fun, and of course create memories.
