The MINT Women’s Snowboard Camp brings together female riders for a week of exceptional coaching, shared progression and unforgettable days in the mountains.
Hosted by MINT founder Tammy Esten, the camp combines five days of coaching with a relaxed, supportive atmosphere both on and off the snow. You’ll ride in a small group matched by ability and goals, developing your technical riding across the mountain—from carving and steeper terrain to off-piste and freestyle.
Every session is adapted to the group, the snow conditions and your individual progression. The focus isn’t simply on riding better during the week, but on helping you understand your snowboarding and develop the skills and confidence to keep progressing long afterwards.
The Women’s Camp is based at Hotel du Lac, where fantastic food, comfortable accommodation and a welcoming social atmosphere become part of the complete MINT experience. Whether you arrive alone or with friends, you’ll quickly feel part of the group.
This camp is designed for lower-intermediate to advanced female snowboarders who want to build confidence and continue progressing across technical riding, off-piste and freestyle. You should have at least two weeks of previous snowboarding experience.
You don’t need to arrive with the same goals as everyone else. You might want to refine your carving, feel more comfortable on steeper terrain, explore off-piste, try freestyle or simply become a more confident and adaptable snowboarder.
With multiple coaching groups, riders are matched by ability, goals and learning pace, helping ensure that your coaching remains relevant, challenging and enjoyable throughout the week.

Set on the shores of Lac de Montriond, just minutes from the Ardent lift, the hotel combines comfortable en-suite accommodation, fantastic food and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. It’s where the week comes together: breakfast before riding, afternoon tea after the slopes, time to unwind in the saunas or outdoor hot tub, and evenings shared around the Feast Tables.
Accommodation is in shared rooms with other camp guests. Single rooms are available subject to availability and a supplementary charge.
Hotel du Lac isn’t simply somewhere to sleep. It gives the group a shared home for the week and helps friendships develop naturally both on and off the mountain.
Enjoy five half-days of coaching in small groups carefully matched by ability and goals. The remaining time gives you the freedom to practise independently, ride with other guests, relax at the hotel or enjoy more of Morzine and the Portes du Soleil.
No two Women’s Camps are exactly the same. Coaching is adapted throughout the week to suit the riders, the snow conditions and the group’s progression. Depending on conditions and goals, sessions may include carving, technical riding, steeper terrain, off-piste, freestyle, switch riding and video feedback.
This flexible approach allows the coaching team to make the most of each day rather than following a fixed syllabus.
Develop the skills and understanding to challenge yourself across a wider variety of terrain in an encouraging, supportive environment.
Improve your position, balance, movement and board control, creating a smoother, more adaptable riding style across the mountain.
Apply your skills to carving, steeper terrain, off-piste and freestyle, with coaching adapted to the conditions and each group’s goals.
Through personalised coaching and video feedback, gain a clearer understanding of what works and what will help unlock your next stage of progression.
Share the week with women at a similar level, celebrating breakthroughs, encouraging one another and enjoying every part of the experience together.
