SHOVEL & SHRED 2026! WHAT A WEEKEND 🫶
We started this event in 2021 at North Mountain in Darrington, a weekend for women and non-binary riders to grow their skills and confidence by spending a day building trails, followed by a day of riding, alongside Evergreen builders and pro athletes.
This year we switched things up and sent it to Port Gamble in our @evergreenws chapter! After the last couple years of rain and even snow at North Mountain, getting two full days of warm temps and sunshine was sure nice at Port Gamble☀️
Together, we rebuilt Over Hard (finished and ready to ride!) sessioned new lines🤘 progressed with guidance from Evergreen instructors, @sweetlines , and @hannahbergemann 🚵♀️ raced Mario Party-themed dual slalom⭐️ party trained down Ranger🌲 and camped under the stars.
Big thanks to @transition_outpost for the hot dogs and suspension clinics, @sourdoughwillyspizzeria for the pizza, and @redbullusa for keeping us going all weekend!

It took me multiple tries to finally get this jump! The lip is super steep and somehow it’s pretty forgiving! I definitely tasted it my first two times then got it the third try. I’m loving the new top of squirrel! You really have to commit to form, pressing your heels into the lip, standing up tall into the air, pushing back down. Thanks @jarrettziemer@kalm_matt James, and the crew! 😺🤘
