This season, winter sports enthusiasts have a brand-new reason to mark their calendars — the New England Women’s Demo (NEWD) is coming to Pico Mountain on March 20, 2026, bringing a celebration of women’s snowboarding and skiing to the slopes of central Vermont. Hosted at one of New England’s beloved mountain resorts, this event is designed as an inclusive, empowering demo day where women of all abilities can try out skis, snowboards and accessories from leading brands, connect with fellow riders, and share real feedback to help shape future gear.
Unlike a typical demo day, NEWD doubles as a community gathering with a mission: build connections, meet industry professionals, and create a welcoming space for women to ride together. Participants not only test out equipment on-snow — with reps and experts there to answer questions and offer insights — but also get the chance to socialize, enjoy an après-party, and leave feeling inspired and part of something bigger than just another ski day.
What sets this event apart is its focus on community and contribution. In past NEWD events, raffle ticket sales and other activities have supported causes like Boarding for Breast Cancer, and the day’s atmosphere emphasizes celebration, connection, and fun — with demo sessions, music, and shared rides turning a mountain outing into a vibrant social experience.
For anyone looking to upgrade their gear, expand their winter sports crew, or simply enjoy an unforgettable day on the snow with like-minded women, the New England Women’s Demo at Pico Mountain promises to be one of the season’s must-attend events.
